Full Screen Script help
 

Hi all,
i'm new in linux environment and have a v. tough task. Please help me how to initiate it.
give me some expample scripts..
the prob def is :

* i am trying to write a full-screen utility, that displays the permissions of a directory and all the directories in the directory's path. it will also show other information about the directories, as the cursor is moved up and down the list of directory names.
* i'm also using a Windows telnet session, because that is how I will be testing the script. I use the Windows version of QVT/Term.

please tell me how to solve this prob..

How about this?:
ls -lR

its not perffect :
ls -lR

the screen not going to be full.
I am trying to make it full screen, in case of user is using the ssh on windows or anyother terminal like QTV/Term
please tell me the solution

what's "full" supposed to mean??

Do you mean you want to be able to scroll the output? What about:
ls -lR | more
ls -lR | less

oh no man... now i explain clearly .. iwant a full screen in 24 rows and 80 columns size.
i think now its clear to you..
please tell me how to do it ?

thanks for proper responses .
good luck

This is clear to no one, jackjill.
24x80 is not full screen but full window, unless you work with an old tty terminal, which I doubt or outside a windowing environment ...

Can you really elaborate on what you are looking for ?

blimey, some people really don't like making it easy for us....

are you looking for somethign like mc?? a console file manager?

I think jackjill's looking for help regarding pure text mode, outside of X windows (and outside of a graphical environment).

"ls -lR | more" work well in console mode too, and he's not happy with that.
I guess acid_kewpie is right and it's some kind of midnight commander that what jackjill wants ...

Just make your text size bigger within your emulator.
