When I search a file in less or more, it will remove lines and replace them with "skipping". Does anyone know what causes this and/or how to avoid it?
After I '/' search a log file using either more or less, I see this:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root staff 40, 0 Oct 27 2013 fscsi0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root staff 40, 1 Oct 27 2013 fscsi1
brw-rw---- 1 root system 10, 9 Oct 27 2013 hd1
...skipping...
crw-rw-rwT 1 root system 38, 7 Oct 27 2013 vhost7
crw-rw-rwT 1 root system 38, 8 Oct 27 2013 vhost8
crw-rw-rwT 1 root system 38, 9 Oct 27 2013 vhost9
crw------- 1 root system 12, 0 Oct 27 2013 vio0
crw------- 1 root system 20, 0 Apr 5 00:53 vty0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 256 Oct 15 2008 xti
crw-rw-rw- 1 root system 2, 3 Oct 27 2013 zero
...skipping...
crw-rw-rwT 1 root system 38, 7 Oct 27 2013 vhost7

crw-rw-rwT 1 root system 38, 9 Oct 27 2013 vhost9
...skipping...
lines are not present in the file itself?
