'ls' command...

when doing a 'ls' command.. How can I pause or show all of the directory?

ls | less

or, for colors

ls --color | less -R

'man ls' and man 'less' for details about your lister and pager.

Take a look at this thread:

ls -la | more

shows you all the nifty hidden files as well, and you get to press the fab spacebar to scroll down more (just like in the man pages, man

). Press Q to quit or quit early.

you should use "less" instead of "more", as it has additional functionality, like beign able to backwards etc...

more and mroe recently "more" has actaully been nothign more than a symlink to less though, so it's possible you're actually using "less" without realising

Ah... but "more" has a much more positive ring to it than "less"...

Welcome to LQ.

In future please don't hijak threads. Create a new one instead. You will also be more likely to get a response if you haven't had any replies to your thread.

I don't think there is a way to do it with ls. You will need to use find:
man find
