SLESS(1) AMIGA Programmer's Manual SLESS(1)
1mNAME
0msless - a document viewing program.
1mSYNOPSIS
sless 0m[-l lineno | -c charpos] file
1mDESCRIPTION
0mThere are plenty of good text viewing programs around for
the Amiga, well, here's another.
The original reason for writing 4msless0m was as a simple text
viewer to work with 4msman0m, which could start viewing a file
at an arbitrary line number or character position. It turns
out, a text viewer is a complicated thing, so it grew to be
a lot bigger than 4msman0m itself! Oh Well...
The usage is straight forward. View a file and hit <help>
to get a help screen on the commands.
The only thing that needs a little clarification is the
search algorithm. If the search pattern you enter has no
unescaped wildcard characters, then a '#?' will be prepended
and appended to the pattern. If it has any unescaped
wildcard characters, then the pattern will have to match an
entire line. See 4msregexp0m.4mdoc0m for a discussion of the legal
wildcard syntax.
