Basic text search in less
November 2nd, 2006 toydi Posted in Common, less | Hits: 65423 | 13 Comments »
We usually use less as the default pager to display manuals and text files. Besides its basic navigation commands (up, down, pageup, pagedown, home, end), its text search commands may come in handy as well.
Let say we view a file:
less /usr/share/games/fortunes/linuxTo search a keyword e.g. Linus, we type:
/LinusA few more buttons to press:
- n – forward to the next found line.
- N – back to the previous line.
- ESC+u – turn off the highlights.
and of course, the q to quit, h for help and what else.. you have tips? ;-)
