STDOUT redirect to file and format problems
Hi All,
I am using centOS.

When I try to redirect STDOUT to a file, it ends up in getting some funny characters. For example ...

STDOUT of the command as follows.

Code:
$ ls
H3k27me3
H3k36me3
H3k4me1
H3k4me2
H3k4me3
H3k9ac
H4k20me1

$ ls  >test
$ cat test
^[[0mH3k27me3
^[[0mH3k36me3
^[[0mH3k4me1
^[[0mH3k4me2
^[[0mH3k4me3
^[[0mH3k9ac
^[[0mH4k20me1
^[[m

Could someone help me in getting rid of this annoying problem.

Many thanks in advance.

the file you are using seems to be a DOS file, try using dos2unix before proceed
