I can run "ls -FR" on a directory and get a lovely listing with lots of
color coded information to let me know what is what. I have hit a
directory that is big enough that scrolling though the output isn't
efficient. I would like to capture the output of "ls -FR" into a file
that

Thanks for the very prompt reply. I tried the command and I am not
getting what I expect when I open the file. Part of the problem (maybe
large part) is that I am opening in vim. What editor should I use for

If it's too long, run it through either more or less.

Paul,
You may want to look at the search capabilities built into less.
(man less). Unless you need to modify the file, less should let you
