How to edit a file from the command line Mac OS X?
Ihor Tkachuk
How to open and edit the file in the command line? I tried to use the command open:
sudo open -e /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
but the file is Locked and I can not change anything.
I need to edit a lot of text and use nano or vim is not very convenient.

I suspect this is because the permission elevation is for the open command, not TextEdit itself.
You should use a different editor that can have its binary run properly from the command line like SublimeText (sudo subl /path/to/file) or TextMate (sudo mate /path/to/file). Or just suck it up and use vi or nano :-)
If you're going to be doing a lot of this type of thing TextEdit is probably the least desirable editor to use anyhow.
