I’m redirecting console output to a file, and getting [?25h and [?25l mixed in with my regular output. I’ve looked online and apparently they are the sequence characters for cnorm and civis, whatever those are. Is there any way to suppress these in the output?

    I ended up piping through sed. Jim’s info is still very helpful, though. I used this command:

    sed 's/\[?25[hl]//'

    Incidentally, it catches [?25h and [?25l, but not when they’re in succession ([?25h[?25l). Any suggestions for that?
