You can probably hack something around grep/awk, i.e.:
: g:/etc/mail> grep -n 'otenet' *
: gothmog.cf:154:DSmail.otenet.gr
: gothmog.mc:8:define(`SMART_HOST', `mail.otenet.gr')
: sendmail.cf:154:DSmail.otenet.gr
:
: g:/etc/mail> grep -n 'otenet' * | awk -F: '{print "vi +"$2,$1}'
: vi +154 gothmog.cf
: vi +8 gothmog.mc
: vi +154 sendmail.cf
Filter the output of that last pipeline through sh(1) and vi will fire
up as many times as necessary:
: g:/etc/mail> grep -n 'otenet' * | awk -F: '{print "vi +"$2,$1}' | sh
HTH, Giorgos
