Subject: ls and long file names
Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1999 23:02:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <004601be60f1$5fca2260$1226e70d@channels.usa.xerox.com> (raw)
Message-ID: <19990228230200.1XuLeAPmLbv4qUc-w9Mtj1b7Q537eafM89Vh3osfIVA@z> (raw)

When there is a file with a long name in a directory, the ls output defaults to one item per line.  i.e.

<13:57:44> <6>ls
10jobs.sh
1liner
3_5_5.xfc
Add2files
Addfile.txt
CPBU_East_and_West_Phone_List_Updated_January_7.doc

while if the files are small, you get:

<13:42:19> <11>ls
erotlk1298.xls          w98-hp5si.prn           w981.01.16-990223b.prn

w98-1-01-16b.prn        w98-hp5sic.prn
w98-1-01-16c.prn        w981.01.16-990223.prn
<13:44:50> <12>

Does anyone have any kind of idea on how to fix this?  I tried all kinds of switches and got no different result.

anyone?

thanks,

jose
