Batch editing files with ed

Thanks for the tips. I put them in a file, because I saw someone using ed last year in a script and started looking at ex from there.

    diff -e file1 file2 > ed_script

Using echo (along with your other suggestions) is probably better for that example.

Note: I forgot the “--max-args=1” option to xargs.
