2014-12-01 Wrote a text about my experiences with Crux [0] And here a nice example of a powerful real-world ex command that I used today. I wanted the status messages no longer be printed to stdout but into a log file. In this case, I knew the code well, so no surprises (like line breaks in the echo statements) were to expect. This is what I used: g/echo/s,echo *"\(.*\)";,logger("\1");, The ten seconds to write this command saved me three minutes of brainless work ... and made me much more happy.
