Getting ls results in text file - Charset issue

Getting ls results in text file - Charset issue

[ACario]

Hi,

I'm running following command in a console:

ls > out.csv

Then I open the file "out.cvs" in vi and here is what I get, whith all 
these strange characters (below is a copy/paste from vi screen):

^[[00m^[[01;34mcxoffice^[[00m/
^[[01;34mDesktop^[[00m/
^[[01;34mGNUstep^[[00m/
^[[01;34mkde^[[00m/
^[[01;34mLogs^[[00m/
^[[01;34mNntp^[[00m/
^[[00mNOTEBOOK.DBF^[[00m
^[[00mout.csv^[[00m
^[[01;34mSw^[[00m/
^[[01;34mSwWork^[[00m/
^[[01;34mtmp^[[00m/
^[[01;34mWorkspace^[[00m/

My config: Mandrakelinux 10.1, bash
My question: how can I get the results of my "ls" command in a plain 
text file with ASCII or ISO-8891 character set instead of all this 
unreadable characters?

Thanks

ACario

It appears your ls is aliased to show colors.  
You could unalias it or try the following:
-----------------
/bin/ls > out.csv
-----------------

Cheers,
Steven

Hi,

don't ask me why, but these characters look more
like ANSI escape sequences (everything prefixed with 
an ESC (^[ ) ) .looks like your console is giving you the
raw data it receives instead of just the text......

They are color codes.  34m = blue.  00m = off.

Cheers,
Steven
