For completeness, I want to present this awesome functions that I collected (stole) from romainl

" redirect the output of a Vim or external command into a scratch buffer
function! Redir(cmd)
  if a:cmd =~ '^!'
    execute "let output = system('" . substitute(a:cmd, '^!', '', '') . "')"
  else
    redir => output
    execute a:cmd
    redir END
  endif
  tabnew
  setlocal nobuflisted buftype=nofile bufhidden=wipe noswapfile
  call setline(1, split(output, "\n"))
  put! = a:cmd
  put = '----'
endfunction
command! -nargs=1 Redir silent call Redir(<f-args>)

This will take normal or system command output and put it in a new tab. Feel free to change the line tabnew to vsplit or split etc.

(new and vnew are alternatives to split and vsplit as the output would otherwise be printed in your current file)
