pg -- display plain text or AWP file a page (screen) at a time
|
||||
|
||||
syntax: pg <pathname> [-h] [-f] [-u] [-l] [-t tab_string]
|
||||
|
||||
ex: pg this
|
||||
pg ?:txt -h
|
||||
como newfile;pg oldfile -l
|
||||
pg that -t" "
|
||||
|
||||
Types contents of a file (any type, not just TXT). Wildcards are
|
||||
allowed. -h generates a header giving the date/time the file was last
|
||||
modified. -f disables filtering of control characters; normally they
|
||||
are filtered out.
|
||||
|
||||
-u and -l force all alphabetic characters to display in uppercase or
|
||||
lowercase, respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
-p begins a new page after the file is printed.
|
||||
|
||||
-t lets you specify a string to be printed in place of each TAB
|
||||
character (Ctrl-I). You may want to make an alias for 'pg' with
|
||||
a tab string.
|
||||
|
||||
At the bottom of each screen, you are prompted
|
||||
|
||||
--- xx% --- more? (Y/N)
|
||||
|
||||
where xx is the percent of the file (calculated by counting
|
||||
characters, not lines) you have read so far.
|
||||
|
||||
When output is redirected to a file or to the printer, no prompting
|
||||
takes place.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: many file types do not contain plain text. This command
|
||||
knows how to interpret AWP files, but simply displays all other
|
||||
files byte-for-byte. If you type a SYS file, for example, you
|
||||
will get a lot of garbage and (probably) a few readable
|
||||
messages.
