quick paste string to file

Comment:

As quick as possible paste text into file ? I've got only vi editor, but typing [esc] :wq! is to long for some users... cat < file [here right mouse click] for longer (approx 20kB) text it isn't working Have you got any idea ?

First, your vi command to save and quit vi is incorrect: It's not :wq! it is just :wq An alternate way of save and quit in vi is :x Another method to create a file is this way: cat > myfile.txt add lines of text as many as you want <control-d> when you are done press the control-d key combination. The above example creates a new file called myfile.txt. This appends to the file if it exists: cat >> myfile.txt add more lines of text <control-d>
