Well, I tried this and it worked sorta:
pine | tee logfile
but logfile gets all the ANSI color codes (so does the screen), so it (the
file) is really hard to read. Piping it through
tr -dc '[:print:]'
removes the escape characters, but not the rest of the sequence. I saw
something a while back that would remove extra junk but leave tabs etc. I
guess it's kind of a judgement call as to what stays and what goes, sorta
like "what's a weed" when gardening.
(some experimentation later)
However,
TERM=vt100 pine -f linux | tee logfile
then
fold -s -w 80 < logfile | sed 's/^[\[[0-9;]*[mrHJKO]//g' | pr -Tc | less -S
does seem to catch everything with no ANSI interference, but it looks really
bad. Me, I'd use copy & paste from an xterm or similar.
