Well, one solution could be to use something like this :
# strip away escape sequences
# hint: colorstrip() doesn't modify its argument, instead it returns the
result
#
function stresc() {
perl -MTerm::ANSIColor=colorstrip -nle '
$_ = colorstrip($_);
s,\r,\n,g;
s/\x00/<0x00>/g;
s/\x1b\x28\x42//g;
s/\x1b\x5b\x4b//g;
print;
'
}
This works fine here since a while
