I have a script which prints out some data to the terminal, which I keep in a screen session. Often times I see indecipherable characters printed out and the output freezes - I'm guessing some control code is being triggered from the printout. Is there a way to prevent this?
Pipe it through cat -vet?
(Strictly, only cat -v is needed. -e adds a $ at the end of each line and -t prints tabs as ^I. And if you have -e, you don’t need -v for Gnu cat. This isn’t true with other cats, and “cat -vet” is easy to remember!)
