sansi(1) General Commands sansi(1) NAME sansi -- StripANSI; strip ANSI escape sequences/characters from text files SYNTAX sansi < ANSIfied_textfile > unANSIfied_textfile Strips ANSI from ANSIfied_textfile. Where ANSIfied_textfile is the name of the textfile containing ANSI, and unANSI- fied_textfile is a filehandle you've chosen for it's output (sansi redirects the filtered output to the filename you've cho- sen). DESCRIPTION sansi was written to strip the ANSI control sequences in files, or out- put, often, but not limited to those generated by compilers. I found it difficult to visually grok/grep the output of script(1) sessions. Es- pecially with the advent of clang. While it's nice to replay the script(1) sessions to view the highlighted messages. It's near impossi- ble to read it inline in your favorite pager, or text editor; Enter sansi. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS John Marino It probably would have never occurred to me to release this, ex- cept that I thought it might help him, and the other committers. I hoped it might help him after all the [unintentional] grief I've caused him. Thanks for your patience, John!
