Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Redirect Topas output to a file Post 302603955 by Corona688 on Friday 2nd of March 2012 11:23:02 AM

Interactive commands like topas use terminal control sequences to refresh the screen, move the cursor, and the like. Their output won't make sense when viewed with anything except a terminal. This is a frequent question and there's not much of a good solution. Sometimes stripping out the control sequences is enough but more often that just ruins it more, since the text may have been drawn in arbitrary order.

What information are you trying to get, precisely? There's probably more suitable noninteractive programs to get it.
