less
is good for viewing long outputs from other programs. There may be times when you pipe the output of a program to less
and realise only later that you want the output in a file... maybe because you need to send the output to someone via email.You can quit
less
and change the command line to output to a file. But there are better/faster options. less
supports an s
command to save its input to a file. Just press s
, enter a file path to save the text to, and you're done.
