How to redirect output of more to a file

I would like to pipe the output of tree command to more, ignoring the first line. Then redirect the output of more command to a file. If I type

tree SOME_DIRECTORY | more +2 >> OUTPUT_FILE

The first line still appears in OUTPUT_FILE.

But if I type

tree SOME_DIRECTORY | more +2

the first line doesn't appear on the terminal.

Can anyone point out what mistake I was making ?

more (or less) are rather to be used interactively.

use either tail

tree SOME_DIRECTORY | tail +2 >> output_file

this tell tail to list line, starting from 2nd (line NÃ‚Â°2)

or awk

tree SOME_DIRECTORY | awk 'NR>1' >> output_file

this tell awk to print (default action) line whose number (NR: Number Record) is above 1 (you can also use NR>=2 )

or sed (thank to Kusalananda )

tree SOME_DIRECTORY | sed -n '2,$p' >> output_file

where

-n do not print input

2,$ select line from 2 to end of file

p print
