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)

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

ls --color: special char in redirected output

[Thomas Anderson]

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
