Re: [OFF-TOPIC] less with built-in grep ?

[Ben Pfaff <pfaffben@pilot.msu.edu>]

   With the example above, I suppose I could write some kind of macro, opening
   shell output, but it gets much more interesting when I am looking at

	   program | less

   and I do not want to execute program again, and I also want to be able to go
   back to un-grepped output without executing program again.

You can type |grep xxx | less, and this will open a sub-less with the
grep output in it.  To get back to the ungrepped file, just quit from
the sub-less.

AFAIK there's no builtin support for this.
