How to solve this problem in terminal?

I often use shell script to do some work.
But, I find some problem in my slackware system.

For examble, I have 3 files in cureunt directory.

Code:

 
$ ls 
$ file1 file2 file3

But, if I echo the output in a file, like:

Code:

 
$ ls > file

When I vi the file, I will find the file name is like this:

Code:

 
$ vi file 
^[[00m^[[00mfile1^[[00m 
^[[00m^[[00mfile2^[[00m 
^[[00m^[[00mfile3^[[00m 
^[[m 
~

So, I can't use this in my shell script.

I can't say for sure but it looks like a language setting.
This may or may not work, but try this code and see if the problem goes away.

Code:

$ LANG=C ls >file
$ vi file

These look like colour formatting codes, try

Code:

ls --color=none > file

When I use

Code:

ls --color=auto

or

Code:

ls --color=none

, It 's OK.
