RE: [SLUG] ls command
man ls should give you info on the switches available but I usually pipe the output to more (ls | more). If your searching for a specific pattern then ls | grep pattern | more should work pretty well -- -Original Message- From: Dennis Curnow` [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 22 March 2002 11`41 AM To: Sydney Linux Users Group Subject: [SLUG] ls command G'day Gang, I'm still having trouble getting X to start but have ordered RedHat 7.2 and am hoping that may talk to my video card better.

RE: [SLUG] ls command
What video card was it again? ls |more will page it. ls -la gives all the file details there's heaps of other switches.

Re: [SLUG] ls command
quote who=Dennis Curnow` Is there a parameter to add when doing a ls the restrict the screen to one page at a time a bit like the dos command dir /p/w The /p is for page at a time and the /w is to Use 'ls | more' or 'ls | less' (which is nicer). This exactly the same as using '| more' in DOS, you're piping the output through a program that does the paging for you. - Jeff -- I look forward to someday putting foo-colored ribbons on my homepage declaring 'port 25 is for spam', and 'just say no to the Spam Message Transmission Protocol!' - Raph Levien -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
