To redirect to a file, you use the greater than symbol before the
filename I.E.
ls>out.txt
The vertical bar | is used to string commands together.
I.E.
ls|grep zip
will first list all the files, then pipe the output to the grep
command, which will then check all the file names for zip, and only
display those that have zip in the filename. If you want the final
output in a file, then you can add >out.txt to the end of the command
line like this:
ls|grep zip>out.txt
which will cause it to write the matches it found with grep into a
file called out.txt

How do you put your output of the ls cmd of that in a text file?

computer. Unless I did somthign wrong. lol!
