The easiest way to return the result is not to use ":.w", but the !
command instead. To quickly confirm that the pipe output returns,
perhaps type:

!!echo "No-one expects the Spanish Inquisition"

To confirm the return trip on e.g. a whole paragraph, place the cursor
on its start, and type:

!}gawk '{gsub(/\<the\>/,"FROG"); print}'

If there are any "the" words, the transformation is not hard to spot.

And if the outcome is not what's desired, there's undo.

Now your commands/scripts can be unleashed with confidence.
