I am running a command like this: command > output.txt but my output.txt is having "...43 more items" written on it because the command prints too many things, it is like:

{
this is a text
text again
[more text,
more text
...43 more items
],
text again
}

Any help on how to make output.txt save all the lines without shrinking it with the "...43 more items" is very appreciated! Thank you :)

EDIT: My command is this one force:mdapi:describemetadata (source: here)

This fully depends on your "command". – Pilot6 Nov 03 '21 at 18:17
oh, i cannot force it to print all the lines no matter what command? I've updated the question with the command anyway :) – Catarina Nogueira Nov 03 '21 at 18:18

It is unclear what you mean. The "command" gives some output and it is saved to file. You can change the command to give some other output, or filter the results by some text processing apps, like grep, sed,awk, etc – Pilot6 Nov 03 '21 at 18:20

Screencast is needed. Please record a GIF using byzanz-record and share it in the question. – N0rbert Nov 03 '21 at 19:19
