NAME

ad - adaptable text editor and CLI for filtering and transforming text

SYNOPSIS

ad [-v] [--version] [-h] [--help]


   [-e script] [--expression=script]


   [-f script-file] [--script-file=script-file]


   [file...]

DESCRIPTION

ad is a text editor and command line stream editor. The text editor interface f ad is inspired by the likes of vim, kakoune and plan9's acme and sam editors. ad aims to provide an "integrating development environment" as opposed to an "integrated" one: leveraging the surrounding system for the majority of functionality outside of core text editing actions.

-e, --expression=script

specify an editing script to be executed

-f, --script-file=script-file

specify a file containing an editing script to be executed

-h, --help

display help text and exit

-v, --version

output version information and exit

If no -e, --expression, -f, or --script-file option is given, then all arguments are taken to be input files to be edited interactively. If an editing script is specified then the remaining arguments are taken to be files to which the script should be applied.
