how can I use the stream output in other program

Hello
I wander if im doing :
ls -l and its giving me lets say 3 results :
-rw-r--r-- 1 blah other 1789 May 19 2003 foo.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 blah other 1014 May 19 2003 foo.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 blah other 270 May 19 2003 foo1.c

now I would like to use the first result and open it with vi .
is there any way to do it with out copy it from the screen ? (vi foo.c)
can I access this result by index or other program and pass it to the vi .

thanks
