you can do the following:

% ls | tee /tmp/xx

will show output on the screen and also log it into /tmp/xx file.
Do 'man tee' to see more information about that command.

u can also use the redirector operator

> and >>
one will make a new file while the other will append the O/P to the existing file if any

ls >> /tmp/test
