amazon web services - AWS CLI results in a text file?

Question

I have 3000+ ebs volumes and I want to list them in aws cli.. however when I run the command

aws ec2 describe-volumes

the result ends up showing only one ebs volume and the terminal keeps saying "skipping".

I want to list all in a text file output maybe? or is there any other way to get all ebs volumes.

I need this to describe and filter out unused ebs volumes.. and then delete them!

Answer 1

Based on the comments.

The solution was to use either (to save output to file):

aws ec2 describe-volumes > myfile.txt

or to display it:

ec2 describe-volumes | less
