Its a bit of a pain to not be able to use an editor to scan the file, but I am happy to be able to get "page breaks" with the color as that's better than setting a window scroll memory to 10K lines (and it seems the script command gives me that anyway as everything goes to the screen first. > > Many thanks, > Paul > > Paul, You may want to look at the search capabilities built into less. (man less). Unless you need to modify the file, less should let you do what you want. Also, you can use ls -FR --color | less -R to get rid of the output to the screen buffer. Have fun.
