A related question: 9front sam has the ^ command, which makes it easy to apply multiple sam commands to the dot from a script, e.g:
#!/bin/rc cat << END ,x/red/ c/blue/ ,x/yellow/ c/green/ END How does one accomplish this in oldschool Unix sam -d without the ^ command, and also without using ssam? 'Here dcuments' work, because the following works fine on my shell (Busybox sh, not rc): $ sam -d file.txt << END ,x/red/ c/blue/ ,x/yellow/ c/green/ w q END However, piping dot to that script from within sam -d (using the | command) ends up with: sh: script.sh: not found ?warning: exit status not 0 ...and also an empty (deleted) sam buffer. Replacing 'cat' with other options, e.g. 'sam -d "$*"', eventually gave a "broken pipe" message. And, again, in all cases, an empty buffer. So, no ^ command, no ssam, but want to use substitutions from 'here documents' -- where am I going wrong?
