Answer is col I think… from man man last page
SYNOPSIS
col [-bfpx ] [-l num ]
DESCRIPTION
Col filters out reverse (and half reverse) line feeds so the output is in the correct order with only forward and half forward line feeds, and replaces white-space characters with tabs where possible. This can be useful in processing the output of nroff(1) and tbl(1).
Col reads from standard input and writes to standard output.
———–
more [-dlfpcsu ] [-num ] [+/ pattern] [+ linenum] [file … ]
DESCRIPTION
More is a filter for paging through text one screenful at a time. This version is especially primitve. Users should realize that less(1) provides more(1) emulation and extensive enhancements.
There is a same question (I forgot the number) and the answer is col. When I first read the question, my answer is more but I was surprise it was col. Maybe we could check that and update the correct answer.
Yes . We updated the correct from your comment . We always listen all comments and fix answers if it not correct . thanks
still incorrect
Yes, this question was updated.
Thanks Eric.
I interpret “extra characters” as “too many characters to fit on one screen”
Col does NOT deal with this problem but cares about reverse line feeds.
“less” or “more” would address this problem though.
