Run a Vim command from a bash script

Question

This is related to a question I asked earlier but I would like to keep it separate in case anyone else can find use in it.

I have a command that I am running on a file called dummy.out from the command line which is as followed

vim -E -s dummy.out <<-EOF
   :%s/old/new/g
   :%s/old2/new2/g
   :%s/old3/new3/g
   :update
   :quit
EOF

from the command line this is working but when I add it to my bash file bashscript.sh

#!/bin/bash
# bash script

var01="start script"
echo $var01

vim -E -s dummy.out <<-EOF
   :%s/old/new/g
   :%s/old2/new2/g
   :%s/old3/new3/g
   :update
   :quit
EOF

I get the following error

warning: here-document at line 7 delimited by end-of-file (wanted 'EOF')

How would I get this command line command to run inside this bash file?

Solution

Ok it looks like the EOF was just a lot more sensitive than I excpected

this doesn't work

vim -E -s dummy.out <<-EOF
   :%s/old/new/g
   :%s/old2/new2/g
   :%s/old3/new3/g
   :update
   :quit
EOF

this does

vim -E -s dummy.out << EOF
:%s/old/new/g
:%s/old2/new2/g
:%s/old3/new3/g
:update
:quit
EOF

looks like typical line ending confusion. Did you edit it with a Windows editor?

[Darek]

so this script works just fine for me: bash script.sh

[Dani_l]

is your editor translating tabs to spacres? <<- only works on actual tabs

[waldemar_enns]

It is yes but for this script I decided to leave out tabs all together
