Im a complete newbie tryin to work with linux centos;
in terminal wanted to log with script command;
but output file has some strange characters when I try to open with gedit or bluefish
terminal , gedit, bluefish encoding is utf-8 ;

Script started on Mon 08 Mar 2010 03:32:39 PM EET

also vim output has weird characters

drwx------ 35 anacondauser anacondauser 4096 Mar 8 15:32 ^[[00;34m.^[[00m^M
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 6 2009 ^[[00;34m..^[[00m^M

-rw-r--r-- 1 anacondauser anacondauser 33 May 25 2008 ^[[00m.bash_logout^[[00m^M

dos2unix outputs only txt file (from abc.log to abc.txt);

those weird color characters remains the same :(


I was hitting  keys to remap ^[[00m; ^M etc by
ctrlv+key combinations and I mistakenly hit enter or did sth
and my F5 key is not working right now;

stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 24; columns 80; line = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = M-^?; eol2 = M-^?;
swtch = M-^?; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W;
lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;

Here is a discussion of terminal colors (those goofy characters) and how to deal with them:
