Hi, after a recent upgrade (maybe the 20) I have some problem with
special characters and ls --color
For example:
$ ls --color
file.txt temp/
is ok
but
$ ls --color > ls.txt
is not
$ less ls.txt
file.txt
ls.txt
ESC[0mESC[01;34mtempESC[0m/
I'm on Windows 7 with the 32 bit version.
Bye,
t03

Add the "-R" flag.

Try ls --color=auto or ls --color=tty
or set an alias: alias ls='ls --color=tty'

Thank you, I added "=auto" to the alias and now it is ok.
(sorry for posting but the behaviour has changed and It was difficult
(for me) to search the solution)
