The result have extra characters at front and end of every line.

Hi, all:

I ran the following command:
# ll ../ | awk '{print $9}' | sort > filelist
But it behaves differently in each system.

File generated on Linux system:
-rw-r----- 1 user asic 631 Aug 26 16:09 filelist

File generated on Solaris system:
-rw-r----- 1 user asic 402 Aug 26 16:11 filelist

Using cat always sees correct result. But using vi to open filelist
can see extra characters at front and end of every line if the file is
generated in Linux, see below. How come? How to fix it? I need it to
run correctly in both Linux and Solaris, in both csh and tcsh if
possible.

Thanks.

ll is an alias or function. What's the command it actually runs?
It looks like in linux it produces a colorized listing, and the ansi escape
sequences are incorrectly included in the resulting file.

All the commands are tested with bash and GNU tools, so they may use
nonstandard features. I try to mention when something is nonstandard (if
I'm aware of that), but I may miss something. Corrections are welcome.

Hi, thanks for the solution. :-)
