I was wondering why `less' in Fedora 11 can't display ANSI colour escape
sequences even with the `-r' or `-R' options. I use grep as `grep
--color=always'. When I pipe the output to `less -R' or `less -r' all
the colours are lost. This works on my Xubuntu machine at the
University. Is this a bug with the Fedora package?
Both work for me on F11:
$ grep --color=always foo somefile | less -R
$ grep --color=always foo somefile | less -r
Works even if I alias grep to 'grep --color=always'
Are you doing something different?
I have `less' aliased to `less -i'. But to test it I removed it, still
doesn't work for me. :(
$ type less
less is /usr/bin/less
$ type grep
grep is aliased to `grep --color=auto'
And still a command like this
$ locate emacs|grep -E 'png|svg'|less -R
$ locate emacs|grep -E 'png|svg'|less -r
doesn't give me colour coded output. Whereas I get colours when I remove
the pipe to less.
