Less: do not wrap lines - use horizontal scroll to browse full lines
Use the option -S:
$ less -S file.logFrom the man page of less:
-S or –chop-long-lines Causes lines longer than the screen width to be chopped (truncated) rather than wrapped. That is, the portion of a long line that does not fit in the screen width is not displayed until you press RIGHT-ARROW. The default is to wrap long lines; that is, display the remainder on the next line.
