List files and see with more

Mauro_8 — Fri, 26 Sep 2003 08:39:09 GMT

Hi,

How can I list all files with extension .h and see the source code of each one ?

Like this:
find / -name '*.h' | more ...

I want to use more with the results of find.

Any ideas ?

Cheers,
Mauro

you could do find / -name "*.h" -exec more {} \;

find / -name '*.h' | more redirects find command in more command, what you want to do is display the content, this can be done thru cat :
find / -name '*.h' | cat '*.h' | more

You can also use xargs like this:

find . -name \*.h |xargs more

I like xargs because its shorter to write than -exec more {} ';'

I know this is not exactly what you wanted ask for, but I find I use emacs more often the more
mainly because it come with colors on file extension it know about.

also you can click and get a list of the buffer, and click to an other buffer

so I find the following more usefull.

find . -name \*.html | xargs emacs

but it is realy a how do you like your tea question !

enjoy
