Might I suggest reading up a little on scripting, then? I think just piping a command should work for what you would like to see. Try google searcges like "man in ls" for more about what can be listed.

Maybe

Code:

ls -l > somefile

^^ that's a lower case ell - for long format output
or if just a list of files

Code:

ls -1 > somefile

^^ that's a one; puts each filename on its own line.
Neither will give you a csv format, but the resulting text file can be read into Calc or Excel and converted there.

Much like you've been told in your other two threads, you need to show some effort of your own, and ask clear questions:

You can either type them in, or use a redirect (as scasey pointed out) to get things into a file. Do as you want to with them from there.
