How to do "Edit ,s/foo/bar/g" using 9p

[vbnut]

Is there any way to write a shell script that uses 9p(1) and  and acme(4) to do the equivalent of "Edit ,s/foo/bar/g" to an acme window?

Thanks.

Not the same thing, but you could grab the window contents with 9p read, run it through sam, and put the result back in.

Interesting!  I hadn't thought of using sam (or ssam or awk for that matter).  Its a possible workaround, but, I was hoping there was a way to get acme to do the work.

If you're really sure you want to do that you could do something like
https://github.com/mkhl/cmd/blob/master/acme/acmeeval/main.go: add the
command to the window's tag and synthesize a button 2 event for the
command text.
