From: John HorneAn odd subject line I admit! Okay, using redhat 7.0 and KDE, I start up a shell/terminal (kconsole). Unzip and untar a package and run the configure program. No problem I'm sure most of us have done that :-) However, I want to 'search' the output displayed in kconsole from the configure program to try and find something (a word). I'm sure someone said it could be done from a long time ago, but I have no idea how. Anyone any ideas?I personally would do $ ./program > file.txt Then you can grep that file. Does that help?
No. Here's the reply I just mailed someone else who suggested the same thing: Nope, that's not the question :-) It could be any program, I just happened to be running configure at the time. I want to search what is displayed on the screen. I *could* redirect it to a file, but it would be far easier to search the 'screen'. Saves faffing around with files and then deleting them, etc. The question is probably very generic - 'using X11 how can I search an xterm's output' may have been better. The fact I am using redhat/KDE and was running configure is not important.
