asterisk users - Aug 2022 - Run asterisk -rx "command" and get plain text output

    I usually like to have the colorized output when looking at 
asterisk output but I need to get some info by running "asterisk -rx" 
and get just plain text output so I can mail it.  Right now I get ANSI 
codes in the output.  Is there a way to get plain text output for just 
that script and not disable colors for everything?

Have you tried adding “-n”?

Also, what version of asterisk are you using? newer versions only have
colorized output when your are connected to the console (-r) not for remote
commands (-rx)

The '-r' is implied:

         -x command
               Connect  to  a  running Asterisk process
               and execute a command on a command line,
               passing  any  output through to standard
               out and then terminating when  the  com‐
               mand  execution  completes.  Implies  -r
               when -R is not explicitly supplied.

Also, as already suggested, please try adding:

[options]
         nocolor                         = yes

in your asterisk.conf file.
