I found that just using cat was all I needed to view the output of script in the terminal. This doesn't help when redirecting the output to another file, but does make the result readable (unlike my first attempt with my favorite editor), and I could do a manual copy-and-paste if needed.

I found that just using cat was all I needed to view the output of script in the terminal. This doesn't help when redirecting the output to another file, but does make the result readable, unlike cat -v, col -b, or a text editor.

To eliminate colors or save the results to a file, manually copy and paste the output from cat into a text editor, or into another cat command, i.e.:

cat > endResult << END <paste_copied_text_here> END
