Hello all,

Just something as "+/{pattern}" option in vim editor does.
I want offer to (unexperienced) users edit (in shell script) some
configuration files, and this should be done with some simple editor
(no Emacs or vi). I think e.g. joe or mcedit is simple enough for
these users, but joe nor mcedit cann't? probably? solve this demand
(joe's command line option for jump to given line number (+nnn) isn't
too much useable for this).
This is a fairly common requirement when distributing applications which may
need config file changes, to inexperienced uses. My approach is generally to
provide a command rather have the users open an editor, eg:
$ sed -i -e "s/foo = LOOK_FOR/foo = REPLACEMENT/" foo.conf
of course you could precede that with something like ...
"""
...edit the file in the editor of your choice and change foo = ...
OR
execute the commands below ...
"""
hth,
regards,
