You had this formulation:
┌────
│ 1 #! /bin/zsh
│ 2
│ 3 # Script to insert a string into files
│ 4 # 1, 2, and 3:
│ 5
│ 6 local script=do-this.el
│ 7
│ 8 emacs -Q --batch --script $script 1 2 3
└────
┌────
│ 1 ;; do-this.el
│ 2
│ 3 ;; Elisp to do it:
│ 4
│ 5 (dolist (f argv)
│ 6 (find-file f)
│ 7 (insert "Sail away, sail away, sail away…") ; do your thing here
│ 8 (save-buffer) )
