Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,
I have this problem on how to place the cursor in a text editor (for example: pico).

I made this script that would attach comments to a script file then open the script file,
I would like to know how to place the cursor in a specific place,
for example at the end of the comments,

here's part of the script:

Code:

echo " " > $sname
echo " " >> $sname
echo "#=================================================" >> $sname
echo "# $sname" >> $sname
echo "# $author" >> $sname
echo "# $date" >> $sname
echo "#=================================================" >> $sname
pico $sname		
#after this, I don't know how to place the cursor

maybe something that could also work for Vi and Emacs

thank you

Either:

vi +\?pico file_name

should do the trick. It opens the file, searching backwards for "pico".

vi +/pico file_name

works searching forward.
