Hi,

 may be it is too late this evening 
 (and this is a too stupid question therefore...;) ... but...

 Is it possible to use something in the manner of 

    ls -l | vim -

 and haveing vim starting up with a filled
 buffer, where I only have to do a ":w" to
 save, what stdin gave me to a file, which
 name was give somewhere in the commandline
 above.

 I dont mean to do things like

    ls -l > filename.txt && vim filename.txt

 or 

   :w filename.txt

 afterwards. It should something like (this is an example.
 I know, it does not work!)

    ls -l | vim --use-fname filename.txt -

 ???

 Thank you very much for any help in advance !

 Have a nice weekend!
 Kind regards,
  Meino Cramer
