Removing the escape characters from GNU Screen's screenlog.%n

"Try this piece of Perl magic:

perl -ne 's/\x1b[[()=][;?0-9]*[0-9A-Za-z]?//g;s/\r//g;s/\007//g;print' < screenlog.0"

"Use ansifilter.

ansifilter screenlog.txt > screenlog.txt.clean"

"If you are screen user then the screen hardcopy solution suggested by Joel
Verks' post will work best -- assuming that you have a large scrollback
defined in your .screenrc:

defscrollback 10000

then you'd do:

Display your screenlog file:

$ cat screenlog.<screen_window_num>

Use hardcopy -h (see screen man page) to save the current window content
and its scrollback buffer into the hardcopy.# file:

<Escape key> (Ctrl-a by default)
:hardcopy -h"
