How to clean up output of linux 'script' command
Problem
I'm using the linux 'script' command http://www.linuxcommand.org/man_pages/script1.html to track some interactive sessions. The output files from that contain unprintable characters, including my backspace keystrokes. Is there a way to tidy these output files up so they only contain what was displayed on screen? Or is there another way to record an interactive shell session (input and output)?
