Re: less and color
more handles colors fine. But you must add the --color option
to ls when piping if you want colors.
less needs the -r option to handle colors.

: I have setup the ls command to use the display color option using an
: alias. It works fine. Colors are also displayed nicely when piping
: ls stdout to the more command. I want to use less instead of
: more. However, when piping ls stdout to the less command, less displays
: the directory listing in b/w and with control characters (escape seq with
: hex numbers?) around the filenames instead of just using the correct
: colors.
: Has anyone out there fixed this problem? I have tried changing the
: LESSCHARSET env. variable with no luck. Advice or tips would be
: appreciated. I should mention that I am using the console with
: $TERM=linux.
