in reply to Wait for string

"more" is a standard Unix like gizmo that pauses the printout of a terminal so that you can read the screen and and hit space to see the next screen, etc.

This is not a Perl question per sea, but the general idea is to use a command that produces a file and not a UI screen text output. This is a Unix question with bash UI.

I hope that some Monk will help you with this problem. I am sure that many can do it.

Cheers, Marshall
