this can be done with redir >names.txt|silent scriptnames|redir END

I'm using silent here to avoid a -- more -- -prompt.

If you just want to list them in a buffer, there is

:new
:put=execute('scriptnames')

If you need to search, well, there is filter()

:echo filter(split(execute('scriptnames'), "\n"), 'v:val =~ "syntax"')
