Converting sed cmd line to script

Question

If I have the line

sed -E 's/([^ ]*) ([^ ]*) ([^,]*), *([^,]*), *([^,]*), *([^.]*), *([^,]*) *([^,]), ([^ ]*) *([^,]) *([^,])/\2, \1, \3, ``\4," \\emph{\5} \\textbf{\8},{\9} (\6)  /'

and I want to put it into a script called (Script.txt) how do I do that so I can run it against file.txt like this:

sed -f script.txt file.txt

just put the content of the single quotes into the file, from the `s/` upt the last `/` — Lars Fischer, May 01 '16 at 20:53
Thanks! also, anyway you can use more than 9 groups if you use this script form? — userJoe, May 01 '16 at 21:01
