script -a ~/somedir/somefile.txt should bring all prior output to the named file, and create it, which it does, but there are some symbols there that not resemble the real output. ([1m[31mEeePc-Rob-SFN9:~ # (B[m) <copying changed the output in the file to this, which is again 'translated' to something else... and what is not what i want. I want the exact same output from a tty of my choice, written to a file, to study.
But you *did* get _exactly_ was what sent to the TTY. That you do not know what the escape codes for your TTY are that are in the data stream is just that; you don't know. It is however a correct record of the output sent to your TTY. Despite what you say it is the real output. Try man terminfo or the easier to understand though obsolete 'termcap' capability. -- "Realizing the importance of the case, my men are rounding up twice the number of usual suspects" - Cpt Renault to Major Strasser, Cassablanaca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
