Send keys in shell script

Hi All,

Consider we have script Linux server . But we don't have permission to edit that file.
When run the script, it opens a file as "/tmp/xxx0000 .txt" with few contents. Most of the time the contents doesn't required to modify and they just save and close (:wq!).
So the script continues and creates "/tmp/xxx000n.txt" file until some n iteration.

How can automatically send ":wq!" key /tmp/xxx0000.txt' file which presents in active window.

Thanks in advance,
