Unix Tip #4458- May 26, 2025
SHELL OUTPUT INTO VI
In VI editor you can get
the output of any shell
command command inserted
into the file you are
editing by using:
:r!
For example:
:r!who -r
inserts the ouput of the
command "who -r" to the
file currently being
edited.
This can be effectively used
to copy the contents of a
file to the file currently
being edited
ie,
:r!cat /etc/passwd
inserts all the contents of
the the /etc/passwd to the
file currently being edited.
