[Novalug] Preserving color

[Igor Birman]

You can type:

ls -l --color=always > filename

This will put the codes in your file that the console can interpret as color, but you would have to interepret them some other way to figure out the colors.

  ls filename
may show the name in a different color depending on the type of file
(directory, executable, etc).

  ls -l filename
will give you similar information

  file filename
will look at the magic and tell you what type of file (executable,
ascii, etc)

If that doesn't answer the question, try asking it again and providing
an example
