Huge amount of stuff needs to be listed but how?

So I need to make list of huge amounts of stuff in a text file but the problem is:

There is too much stuff so "I can't" do it manually, would take forever, so iis there a way to list em in a text file with some sotf of command? Like in DOS we used to have "dir > files.txt" command, it would list all the content of the that dir showed to a txt file, of course when you added few commands more to it, it would strip the unnecessery stuff out of the list

So, is there some sort of command to use in this situation?
Thank you.

Actually, DOS (windows versions I think) ripped those commands off Unix/Linux. You can still use the > to direct the output to a file, or the | to send a program's output to another one. Ex: ls | grep *.rpm (though normally you would just use ls *.rpm

) but you get the idea.
