Re: Writing to an external file

There are several ways to do that.  Some may be better than others,
depending on what you're trying to do.

    :help :w_a
    :help writefile()
    :help system()
    :help :!

In the last case, the command could be something like this:

    !echo hello, world > hello.txt
 
I knew about :! and system(), but not about the other two. writefile() looks like it might work. Many thanks!
