Terminal doesn't show full results when inputting command that yields long results

Question

The Terminal doesn't show the full results when inputting a command that yields long results.

I want to copy paste them but doing so from the terminal is impossible since it doesn't show the full result.

Answer 1

If you are in your terminal, open the Edit drop down menu, select Profile Preferences, and then on the Scrolling tab of the windows that appears, you will see the number of scroll-able lines that the terminal is being limited to. You can increase this number.

Also, using less may help you work with the output:

your_command | less 

Your Enter key will take you down and Q will exit less mode.

Answer 2

You can redirect the output into a file, e.g. by:

command > filename.log

Afterwards you can read the file , e.g. by gedit (or any other editor)

gedit filename.log
