You can use write-file (C-x C-w), then specify a filename.

C-x C-w runs the command write-file (found in global-map), which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘files.el’.

Note however this does not preserve the metadata of the buffer : if you save the buffer to a file, kill the buffer and re-open the file you just saved, you only get the text, no hyperlinks.

  • Another way is (in Occur buffer): 1. Press "e", 2. "C-x C-s" to save to the file. As result it save content an metadata (e.g. hyperlinks) Commented Dec 13, 2018 at 9:11
  • @Alexei what do you mean you save with hyperlinks? In what format are you saving it? I get the same result in both cases.
