telnet client question - GoFuckYourself.com

is there any telnet client that doesn't wrap the lines?

I know secureCRT has 512 columns option, but I need more than that. thx

Hi,
try putty.

I haven't really tested it with big number of columns but at least it allowed me to set 2000 columns for a window.

I have it, but I couldn't really figure out the settings? how?

thanks for reply

Click the icon in the top left corner of a window, choose "change settings...", go to Window and change values in "set the size of the window" box.

Meorazhar, I know what you're saying. that changes the size of the window. I am actually trying to change columns of the output. For example, when I query the mysql tables, print lines are too long and they wrap. I don't like to wrap. I wanna see horizontal scroll bar to scroll and see them as unwrapped.

any idea?

ok, I have just uploaded 1 kb text file (all text as one line), set up putty to show 2000 columns of text and did "cat" on this file. It showed as one string. There was no horizontal scrollbar though...

daddy321 · 08-28-2005, 10:23 PM

did it wrap on the screen?

no it didn't wrap. But i couldn't scroll to the output which didn't fid in the screen

daddy321 · 08-28-2005, 10:27 PM

yes I did the same test, it does display as one string on the screen, but it wrapped. that's not what I am trying to. I am trying to show that 2000 chars in one line in the command line...

Looks like there isn't such thing as a horizontal scroll bar in putty... Weird.

I tried another approach. Obtain plink utility from putty package
then act as following:
1. launch cmd.exe
2. right-click the top-left corner icon, choose properties
3. set window buffer size to 2000 cols
4. run plink your_host_name

Just worked perfectly for me.
