I use screen to log sessions where I patch Debian servers. Screen captures ANSI control codes (like positioning and color changes), which is probably appropriate, however, I want a version of the logs without those codes so that I can open it in a text editor. I've been told that a little perl could help, been directed to 'script', both of which don't seem to do the trick that I want. For the perl solution, I need to know too much about the ANSI codes that I want to replace. Script just dumps... there doesn't seem to be a good way to capture without the codes...
Screen is a widely used application, and my use to generate logs of my sessions has got to be a fairly popular function of screen... so what is everyone else using to make the logs human readable? ( Ideally, I'd like something that will reformat the log either to a file or to a pipe. ) Thanks! --J. _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
