Why would you use vim instead of editing the file directly, e.g.

File.foreach("data.txt") do |line|
#do something to line
end

Well, it does start up vim on the remote file, so, provided you change
it and then hit :wq, it'll edit it. :)

You need to use the -t option of ssh to get a pseudo terminal.

you should look into 'sed' which is a command line editor and acts in
many ways as vim does without being interactive.

I'm not sure I understand your goal, but if you wish to use vim to
edit a remote file vim does this out of the box:

Forgive me if I have misunderstood your question.
