Even better, now I don't need to create a patch file. In a single line I can hack Xilinx's Xygwin tools over to Cygwin. I'm doing the following for f in $( find edk -name '*.exe' -o -name '*.dll' ) do vim -b -s xyg2cyg.sed $f done where xyg2cyg.sed contains :%s/xygwin1.dll/cygwin1.dll/g :wq Is there a way I can pass these on the command line, without needing a seperate little script file like this?
