script's typescript output is littered with ANSI strings
 
Regardless which distro I use, ANSI sequences litter typescript files, which makes them hard to read, and hard to copy and paste from. Is there a way to have the ANSI sequences omitted? If not, is there some simple way to strip them? Is there a better utility to capture screen output?

Now I understand even less.
What exactly is happening?
Where do these files come from, how are you reading them, what "ANSI sequences" are you seeing, and what put those sequences in there?

Code:
# which script
/usr/bin/script
# rpm -qf /usr/bin/script
util-linux-2.33.1-lp151.3.3.2.x86_64

script makes a typescript of everything displayed on your terminal

I see.
The way I understand it, this is the normal and desired behaviour.
Problem: I cannot replay the typescript with "scriptreplay typescript".
In any case, 'cat typescript' works as expected.
Also take a look at this:

That's a long, involved thread. "scriptreplay typescript" here always generates a line 1 unexpected format error. Redirecting cat output to a file doesn't seem to produce much less ansi string litter.
