That use is the exact reason why LESSPIPE exists, check out man less & https://www-zeuthen.desy.de/~friebel/unix/lesspipe.html https://www-zeuthen.desy.de/~frie

- johnisgood 7y agoMaybe, but I already had pygmentize, I already had less, and this small function took me less than 10 seconds to type in and start using immediately (and I use a particular style that pygmentize provides so that is a plus). :P In any case, thanks for sharing.
- pcr910303 7y agoOh, I forgot to mention that LESSPIPE is a mechanism to automatically pipe the contents of a file when opening in less, and that the linked LESSPIPE script has an option to use pigmentize for syntax highlighting. It’s a tool for enhancing less & pygmentize, not replacing them. Well, just providing info for everyone. I’m not trying to force you using that script :-)
