Hi Andrew, Terminal should let you do what your after,
With the listing of files and if you use the correct switchs you should be able to write the list of files and associated data to a file I know it's possible to do this in ms dos and power shell, so I would think linux etc would do the same thing. As for tab complete in the terminal, So long as you have the name correct to the point you hit the tab key then it should work for you. As long as there is a file or folder name with what your looking for. I use it when typing long commands like Sudo /Applications At the start of the creation of a bootable Usb flash drive. So as long as you have the name correct including any uppercase or symbols in the name then tab complete should be fine -----Original Message----- From: 'Andrew Lamanche' via MacVisionaries <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, 30 March 2020 3:22 AM To: 'E.T.' via MacVisionaries <[email protected]> Subject: A couple Terminal questions Hi, When working in Terminal and command line, is it possible to examine the window content with Voiceover? Say , ls -l command produces a list of files in the directory I am in. How can I examine each file and maybe even copy their names to clipboard or details about them if I were to use the -l flag, which would produce long information about each item. Secondly, reading a book on Command Line, one of the shortcut techniques the author teaches is to start typing the name of a directory to which one wishes to change and then pressing tab, which would result in Terminal completing the name or else giving a list of available names if there should be more than one. This doesn’t seem to work. When I press the tab, I hear the ominous bong bong. So this technique doesn’t work. Any thoughts on this? andrew -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
