quick post, as this might help people when using command prompt/GDAL to analyse files (like rasters or vectors) that end up having a lot of content.

well you can control the amount of text displayed in the command prompt window using

| more

after your command

so it would look something like this

C:\data | more

when you want to see the rest of the text just hit the spacebar

comes in handy when using GDAL to review 10,500 raster tiles
