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.
Has anyone out there fixed this problem? I have tried changing the LESSCHARSET env. variable with no luck. Advice or tips would be appreciated. I should mention that I am using the console with $TERM=linux. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= larry holish [EMAIL PROTECTED] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
