  • dos2unix will just clear out the ^Ms, it won't help with the ansi coding that got recorded. Commented Jan 20, 2015 at 5:46
  • Thanks sree, but this has just removed the ^M characters. What about ^H,^G and some other junk characters? Commented Jan 20, 2015 at 5:47
  • @Dharmendra, updated the answer. Please take that as an example to remove junk characters other than ^H and ^G. Commented Jan 20, 2015 at 6:32
  • ^H is backspace, won't removing them alter the semantics of the record? (i.e. ha^Hi is becomes hai when it should be hi) Commented Jan 20, 2015 at 6:42
  • Yes, @Sree but still that is not working for "^[[m^[]0;" or "[1P". Anyway Thanks. Commented Jan 20, 2015 at 6:42
