add > filename in the command.
for example:
Code:
ls > ls_output

Good tutorials on redirection are out there. Google on "Linux redirection"

> send to file (create if neccesary)
>> append to file
< read from file
<< read from "here"--eg the terminal
2> redirect errors to file

you can also use "exec" to change file descriptors--eg for the life of a script or segment.
