The above is a good way to capture the input to the editor, but the
test with "grep -P" which is not portable would not work well. You
however should be able to prepare an expected output with
cat >expect <<\-EOF &&
... expected contents to editor-input here ...
EOF
and do "test_i18ncmp expect editor-input" instead of "grep -P".
