if you use linux or any *nix for that matter, and you use the program ’script’ to save everything you do at the console for later viewing, you might want to remove those crazy ^M ^G and ^H characters from your file so that you can actually read it.

before:

Script started on Tue Jan 20 16:40:26 2009
^[]0;root@lindt75:~^G[root@lindt75 ~]# drbd^Gadm create-md res^H ^H^H ^H^H ^H/dec^H ^Hv/xv^G^M
xvc0 xvda1 xvda2 xvda3 ^M
[root@lindt75 ~]# drbdadm create-md /dev/xvd^Ga3^M
‘/dev/xvda3′ not defined in your config.^M
^[]0;root@lindt75:~^G[root@lindt75 ~]# cat /etc/drbd.conf ^M
#^M
# please have a a look at the example configuration file in^M
# /usr/share/doc/drbd82/drbd.conf^M
#^M

then the command:

tr -d '\015\010\007' < data.file > new.data.file

and now, after:
