Capturing session in ANSI reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zc2016 · 2016-01-18 08:34 I am trying to capture a full session in ansi with color. every terminal I try to capture in only saves 2-3 screen back and I would like to get the whole session. Closest I can get is a puddy log that saves in unicode then opening that in sublime text with ansi plugin that adds the color back in but since puddy logs in unicode I lose the artwork. any advice? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RealDeuce · 2016-01-18 08:41 SyncTERM has a capture (ALT-C) named "Raw" which captures the raw data as you receive it. One thing you may be seeing is a clear screen in the captured data... the terminal may be capturing everything, but the screen is being cleared every few screens. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zc2016 · 2016-01-18 09:19 Yes, I have that issue do you happen to know of a work around? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RealDeuce · 2016-01-18 09:24 You can manually edit the capture file, removing the clear screen codes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zc2016 · 2016-01-18 10:26 I edit the .ans raw capture of the session from syncterm then I cut all the [K [1K [2K [J [1K [2J and it still only shows about a screen's worth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zc2016 · 2016-01-18 10:42 I feel like it's Esc[Line;ColumnH and Esc[Line;Columnf are what is breaking it and doubt I can remove them without breaking it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- fgdfsfd · 2016-01-18 11:33 qodem has both raw capture (which saves bytes) and also capture to html. html capture saves each byte as a Unicode entity + font color change, you can load the entire capture file in a browser and see it like it was meant to be in a terminal. Black-and-white example: http://qodem.sourceforge.net/qmodem/qmodemtd.html As for editing the raw log from SyncTERM, check also for \^L (Ctrl L, formfeed, 0x0C) bytes. ANSI.SYS type terminals are supposed to clear the screen when they see this. VT100 type terminals treat formfeed same as linefeed.
