-> I have got the same problem with 'more' and 'less' too. -> -> How did you configure 'ls' for displaying colors when piping to 'more' ?
-> I have setup the ls command to use the display color option using an -> alias. It works fine. Colors are also displayed nicely when piping -> ls stdout to the more command. I want to use less instead of -> more. However, when piping ls stdout to the less command, less displays -> the directory listing in b/w and with control characters (escape seq with -> hex numbers?) around the filenames instead of just using the correct -> colors. that's problem of lls not less try ls --color=always | less -r but the problem is in that case less doesn't know how long the line is and doesn't correctly diaplay it. -- Matus "fantomas" Uhlar, sysadmin at NEXTRA, Slovakia; IRCNET admin of *.sk [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ ; http://www.nextra.sk/ Enter any 12-digit prime number to continue.
