The proper way to approach this is to disable coloring in the program |
| 20 |
generating your output. If there is no flag for it, you can try |
| 21 |
setting your terminal capabilities such that color is not supported |
| 22 |
(e.g. TERM=xterm-old, possibly unsupported on BSDs). However for some |
| 23 |
poorly written programs that may not work. Lastly, you can strip the |
| 24 |
escape sequences from the output. |
| 25 |

See http://www.andre-simon.de/doku/ansifilter/en/ansifilter.php if you |
| 27 |
are interested in the latter option. This seems the easiest to do if |
| 28 |
you don't mind the extra step. |
