Hi Debian users,
I wonder if there's a simple and universal way to dump output
of terminal to a file, particularly for demonstration purposes.
Most of the time when I need to do that, I either use X (or
PuTTY, when on Windows) facilities, but often it's not possible,
or it may become awkward (due to need to switch between mouse
and keyboard).
I know there are things like 'screen', but I'm looking for
the most universal solution that would work on every system.
For example, on SUSE, I can:
cat /dev/vcs > example.txt
(...though it's catted as a single line with *all* spaces up
to $COLS (meaning, e.g. that each--even empty--line would appear
as $COLS 0x020-spaces), so it needs some post-processing.)
...but that didn't work on Debian/Lenny for me.
Any suggestions?
(Extra bonus points for linux-osx-freebsd-unicode-compatible
version. :-D)
Thanks a lot,
Al.
