I generate a hardcopy (C-a h) of an ncurses screen which has some formatting on it (boxes, highlights).
If I "cat" the file, i get only text.
If I do a
, then i see a lot of control characters where the boxes are.
shows me a hexdump of the file.
prompts that its a binary file, and then shows me the boxes as control characters (as in the cat pipe less)
Is there some utility or setting that would show me the file just like when I see it inside the app, or close to it.
I've attached the file as a .txt file.

Does anyone know how to get this to update from the... (0 Replies)
Hello,
One of the things I like about screen is that it has a scrollback buffer, which if you go into the copy mode, will let you go back for a specified number of line. Is there a way to extend the number of scrollback lines in screen? I've looked thoroughly online and I could not find a... (2 Replies)
I finally gave up and installed the prepackaged version of 'screen', but I really want to get a better understanding of why my compilation of 'screen' failed on HP-UX 11i using GNU gcc (also from a prepackaged version). Whenever I would try to run './configure' to prep for building screen, it... (4 Replies)
Hi all,
Is there a way of viewing a binary file through a UNIX session? Or perhaps viewing information of a binary file through a session?
