How to move lines containing specific text to top of file in same order as code executed?

Here is the code I have:

printf 'g?_001|_002|_003|_004|_005?m0nwqn' | ed -s target_file

( credit goes to steeldriver for helping me get this far. Truely an amazing user of this site! )

This moves them to the top like so:

name_003

name_005

name_004

name_002

name_001

or however order they were in originally, just to the top.

but I need them to be put in the same order as I have them in within the printf and ed code, so in this case, like:

name_001

name_002

name_003

name_004

name_005

Anyone familiar with printf and ed?

Thanks a lot!

Use separate move commands:

ex -sc 'g?_005?m0' -c 'g?_004?m0' -c 'g?_003?m0' -c 'g?_002?m0' -c 'g?_001?m0' -c wq target_file

Note that:

• I'm using ex (actually, Vim) here, not ed. You can specify the ex-commands in the command line using the -c option, so printf isn't needed.


• The patterns must be in reverse order (005 gets moved to the top first, then 004, pushing down 005, then 003, pushing down both 004 and 005, ...)

With printf and ed, maybe:

(printf 'g?%s?m0n' {005..001}; printf 'wqn') |

  ed -s target_file
