Junk/special characters in saved file

[madhusudhanarya]

i have configured auto-save of the SSH terminal output to the file. When i check saved file, i see junk/special characters. Below is the snippet from the output file. you can see most of the strings are prefixed with ;5;27m and some has <0x07> or <0x1b>]0;

putty has an option called Printable output that corrects that same issue

@madhusudhanarya same issue for me, I am using 1.0.174, have you fixed it?

I'd really appreciate an option to strip out these formatting chars!

These are ANSI escape codes and yes they should be cleaned from string before outputting to the log file. I have a same issue
