Screen Listing Output Save in a File

Hi,

when I issue this command:
find / -path /proc -prune -o -user testacct -ls

unfortunately testacct has many file ownerhip, my concern is to save the generated listing displayed in screen into a single.

I need any HELP please

the output of 'ls' command can be redirected to any file using '>' symbol

usage: # ls > aa.txt

giving a 'cat aa.txt' will show the same resuls as it would be for 'ls'

Example:

ls > file_name

File file_name will contain the terminal output from ls.

the following is 2 commands on one line and will save all to file (filename) and then pipe the entire list through so you have a copy of them in a file and also a listing too look through.
#find / -path /proc -prune -o -user testacct -ls > (filename) ; cat (filename) | less
you could do
#find / -path /proc -prune -o -user testacct -ls | less
if you do not want to keep the reults.
