You should really have read ":help :redir".
Here is how to do it:
:redir > settings.txt
:set all
:redir END
then the file settings.txt contains the output of ":set all". You can
also append instead of overwrite, or write to a register (including the
clipboard) instead of a file.
Best regards,
Tony.
