Every time I work on a system, I log the outputs automatically and store it in a temporary location. I use putty for that.

My problem is that when i read the output file using notepad ++, I get characters like ESC BEL.

Do you guys know any solution for that ?

this is because your logfile contains non-ascii characters and notepad++ is so kind to show them to you. I found a similar question : here

I have only 11 reputation so I cannot comment, so I will answer Mr 111k Reputation here: The Question is about ascii and non ascii characters and about log files and a very popular program used to code. So I think the question is not off-topic.

But the question is not new, there are some very similar Questions asked also here. Thank you for pointing out any previous asked question that is similar to this one.
