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

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)

Try adding in the asterisk.conf file:

[options]
nocolor=yes

    The "-n" option only works on startup and cannot be used when 
Asterisk is already running (I tried and I get an error).  We are using 
version 18.12.1.  The output I want to capture is:

asterisk -rx "queue show"

     If I capture the output to a file or straight to the command line I 
get the colorized output.

     I found a way to strip the ANSI codes using SED:

asterisk -rx "queue show" | sed -e 's/\x1b\[[0-9;]*m//g'
