If you're outputting to STDOUT, why not just pipe it to more?
There are a number of issues to worry about when doing it yourself such as
the size/type of terminal you're displaying on. More takes care of that
for you. Another option might be to look through the more source code.
Good luck,

|
>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
I'm output a massive list to STDOUT but wish to break it like the MORE
function in DOS. For instance I have a huge array and for each row the
array I'm outputting to STDOUT. But when the output reaches the end of the
page, I would like to pause it. What's the best way to do this?
thanks
Chuck
