If you were writing a file, wrote some lines of content and accidentally found that you do not have write permission on the file while trying to save the file.
You would have probably got this error:
"temp.txt" E212: can't open file for writing
If you don't want to loose contents of your file and you are inside vi editor.
Try this command:
:w !sudo tee %>/dev/null
Better use:
sudo vim <filename>
to edit files.
