Something like this.

touch abc.txt
vim abc.txt

input_format=sam
sv_type=all
mates_orientation=RF
read1_length=100
read2_length=100
mates_file=path
cmap_file=path
output_dir=path
tmp_dir=path
num_threads=4


Esc :wq! ####same as previous comment in i. This command is to save and exit. Hie escape key on keyboard and the type :wq!

Thanks in advance for the help and suggestions

Is there a reason you need to use vim? otherwise, I think you'd be better using something like echo in your batch script:

echo "input_format=sam\nsv_type=all\n..." > abc.txt

I am presuming you're using bash, but I think most shells will function similarly.
