<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 580755 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173351/">Vasudev Ram</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/command/">command</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/commandline/">commandline</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pagination/">pagination</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/paging/">paging</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/python/">python</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/text/">text</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/utilities/">utilities</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/windows/">windows</a>). </p> <p>This recipe shows how to create a simple text file pager in Python. It allows you to view text content a page at a time (with a user-definable number of lines per page). Like standard Unix utilities, it can either take a text file name as a command-line argument, or can read the text from its standard input, which can be redirected to come from a file, or to come from a pipe. The recipe is for Windows only, though, since it uses the msvcrt.getch() function, which is Windows-specific. However, the recipe can be modified to work on Unix by using things like tty, curses, termios, cbreak, etc.</p> <p>More details here:</p> <p><a href="https://jugad2.blogspot.in/2017/02/tp-simple-text-pager-in-python.html" rel="nofollow">https://jugad2.blogspot.in/2017/02/tp-simple-text-pager-in-python.html</a></p>
