AmigaOS 3.1 Command Reference

MORE


Format:
MORE <filename>

Template:
FILENAME/K

Purpose:
To display the contents of an ASCII file.

Path:
SYS:Utilities/More

Specification:


MORE displays the contents of the file <filename>. If the file is not in the
current directory, you must specify the complete path. If you don't specify
a file, MORE will display a file requester.

Command keys for MORE are explained on screen when you press the H key.

MORE also accepts input from a PIPE. Since standard input from a PIPE is of
unknown length, the Previous Page (Backspace or b), Last Page (>), and More
N% into file (%N) commands are disabled when the MORE input is from a PIPE.

If the EDITOR environment variable is defined and you are using MORE from
the Shell, you can bring up an editor to use on the file you are viewing
(press Shift+E). The EDITOR variable should have the complete path to the
editor specified; i.e., C:ED.

Example:

1> MORE DF0:TestFile

Displays the contents of the ASCII file called TestFile on the disk in
drive DF0:.
