Matt Wood<p>Discovered `less -S` today which really saved me with a log file that had a bad error message that was so long even `less` started chugging.</p><p>"-S or --chop-long-lines"</p><p>"Causes lines longer than the screen width to be chopped (truncated) rather than wrapped. That is, the portion of a long line that does not fit in the screen width is not shown. The default is to wrap long lines; that is, display the remainder on the next line."</p><p>Immediately fixed the problem, got the info I needed from the file in 2 seconds.</p><p><a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/bash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bash</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/term" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>term</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/SoftwareDeveloment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareDeveloment</span></a></p>
