After an certain html page is generated by a publishing program I want to include some javascript in the element. I am in the middle of a script setting up some parameters that are needed to run the website and wanted to include the insertion of the javascript in the script. I thought I could use vi but after searching for ways to use vi in a script, stackoverflow convinced me that ex should be used not vi. My problem is I can't get ex to :r . I wanted to:
ex html.file <<EOF
/head
n (ending </head tag)
O open line above
-----can't code an ESC
r javascriot file
wq
EOF
Any help of other suggestions would be appreciated.
