Dear all,

I would like to execute the following system command

[~, res] = system([‘TERM=xterm git -c color.ui=false show –pretty="%cd"’])

to get some information about git. However, the result looks like this

‘�[?1h�=
Wed Mar 8 12:19:18 2017 +0200�[m
�[m

�[K�[?1l�>’

I would like to get rid of these escape characters starting with square brackets. I already disabled the colouring of the output, because I suspected this to be responsible, but that didn’t seem to be the problem. Does it make sense to select a different type of terminal? Or is this maybe some kind of conversion problem?

Thanks!Dear all,
