prevent scroll (or something like that)

[electron]

hello everybody,

i'm new to this forum and pretty much a noob when it comes to cygwin which may explain my question.

I'm doing an assignment for school and I'm supposes to disassemble a piece of code with a disasembler. This works just fine but the output asembly code is to large to fit on the screen. So when i scroll all the way up I can't read the complete output. Is there anything I can do, like an additional command, so I actually can read this output because it holds some information I need.

Thanks in advance,
electron

$disassemble binary_file 2>&1 | less

Syntax explained under "REDIRECTION" in the 'bash' manual:
$man bash

hello everybody,

which
may explain my question.

I'm doing an assignment for school and I'm supposes to disassemble a
piece
of code with a disasembler. This works just fine but the output asembly
code
is to large to fit on the screen. So when i scroll all the way up I
can't
read the complete output. Is there anything I can do, like an additional
command, so I actually can read this output because it holds some
information I need.

Thanks in advance,

Re: Scroll...

Why don't you just do either of
 (a.)  pipe output to less and read it page by page

       e.g.   $  dissemble-cmd | less

or
 (b.) redirect output to a text file and them use some editor like emacs or
      nano to view it.  
      e.g.    $ dissemble-cmd >filename
            nano filename      or    less filename

good luck with your studies.

regards
