Question: Reading the Output of Top

[Parham Doustdar]

Hi all,

What do you do when you want to read content of a command like |top|? 
There are two issues with it:

 1. There is no way of knowing the title of a column without first
    navigating to the headers. I want to be able to go to the
    next/previous column, know the title of a column, etc.
 2. The output keeps changing. For example, while I’m reading one line,
    its CPU usage might drop and cause it to be reordered in the list.

How do you get through these issues?

Thanks!
