newbie - simple question

[bergis]

Hi,
as I am setting up linux (rh7.1) for the first time, I am trying out a lot of things for the first time, just to see what happens , and I have one q.: Is there any way of printing out results of commands I run in the terminal window, some command I can 'attach' to the main command that prints out the result or something like that?

regards
Kjell

ls -l | lpr

the "|" *pipes* the result of "ls -l" to lpr which prints stuff. it normally does a bad job of printing ascii tho so if you can run

ls -l | a2ps

which will make it look pretty. use "man a2ps" to look for further options on output style.
