less command

[Joe Caverly]

In reference to "less" program...

Here's how to use the PowerShell Community Extension less command from TCC.

First, you need PowerShell, and the PowerShell Community Extensions, installed on your system.

To install the PowerShell Community Extensions, from the PowerShell prompt;

Find-Package pscx | Install-Package -Force

From TCC, create an alias for less;

alias less=`powershell -command less`

You can use less in a pipe, or give a filename as a paramater;

type test.txt | less
less test.txt

For help on less;

less --help
