Hi,
Somebody has told me that NCurses can be used to test vi. But i was unable to figure out how. If anybody has done anything with NCurses please reply.
Also is there any othre way by which we can test vi automatically?

Wadaya mean "test vi"?

Basically we have to automatically run vi editor and execute the vi specific commands from the command line without actually invoking vi.
I mean to say that we want to write a program which will invoke vi and pass keystrokes and other editing commands to it.
