how can i save vimgrep result to a file ?
Hello experts,
i've spent way toooo much time looking up on internet : how to save to a file the vimgrep result.
i'm working on
on vim i know we can use :[range lines]w filename.tosave
this ^ is working smoothly.
we can also use :vimgrep "whatimlookingfor" % | copen
this ^ shows me a beautiful display with contains filename, char, colon.....the line
this is what i'd like to save to a file: "my_research.rs"
but i dont know what to suffix with the following command:
here i'm looking in many files
:vimgrep "whatimlookingforinmanyfil es" **/* | copen [???????]
my question:
how can i save what i see with
:vimgrep "whatimlookingforinmanyfil es" **/* | copen
thank you in advance !
this is something i'd really like to manage ;)

... i found the solution. ... dont know how to close the question, still an interesting solution
egrep -l 'whatiamlookingfor' */*
The report will be the filenames that match.
From what I scanned, vimgrep goes through pre loaded within vim.
