Compare these two command, which should be the same thing according to my understanding:

echo abc>tmp1

echo abc|more>tmp2

And they do, largely. tmp2 has an extra blank line at the end, but I don't worry about that.

Now, this is a slightly more complicated case:

(echo abc&echo def)>tmp3

(echo abc&echo def)|more>tmp4

tmp4, in addition to having an extra blank line at the end, also has an extra space at the end of each non-empty line. How can that be? Can I present it? I currently use sed -e 's-[ ]$--g', but I would like not to rely on GNUwin.

    Considering that more is specifically meant to be an interactive tool and not redirected to file, is there any point in all of this?

  • @grawity: Yes. I have noticed that (echo a&echo b) | vpncli.exe -s does not work, while (echo a&echo b) | more | vpncli.exe -s does, except for those addes spaces. Compare superuser.com/a/930475/253137

    In that case, maybe you should be asking about the behavior of vpncli.exe, not about more.com.
