I have got the same problem with 'more' and 'less' too. How did you configure 'ls' for displaying colors when piping to 'more' ?
Thank you. ------------------ Memo - Header ------------------- To: debian-user@lists.debian.org cc: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 26/01/2000 14:16:05 GMT 26/01/2000 15:24:58 Subject: less and color ----------------- Memo - Message ------------------ 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] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
