Read from stdin to new, named, file in vim
I'd like to start vim on a non existing file, named f, with the content c. Both f and c are arbitrary and I'd like to not have to put anything in the vim config to fill new buffers with c.
Basically, I would like to combine
$ echo c | vim -
with
$ vim f
Is there a flag to vim which lets me achieve this?
Solution 1:
You can try this command:
echo c | vim - +'w f'
