Sorry, deeply embarrassing, of course what you need to do is not ls | gedit
but first redirect the ls output to a file, and then redirect this file to gedit, as in ls > test.txt | gedit The > is a way of sending the output of the command to the file instead of to the terminal. Then the | operator sends it to gedit, which opens with it. At least, I hope it does! Quick, someone who knows about this stuff join in!
