Just use --color=3Dy if you want colors through a pipe. Hmm, neither less not cat give me color output. Passing --color=3Dy to eit= her=20 tells me things like: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D There is no color=3Dy option ("less --help" for help) =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D I also tried --color but it's all still shown in black & white. How do you= =20 pipe a file and get it to show in color? Am I missing something in=20 my .bashrc or elsewhere? =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart1234642.KZbqGClaWM Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGFSzY5Fp0QerLYPcRAt/QAKCvmRiKPaJsHs+Xowr4zJZKe4jM+QCgkf4Z n9fZR/yGn66hXYUPvqHozQ4= =GLBO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1234642.KZbqGClaWM-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
