Dump terminal session to file? [closed]

Question

I run gnome-terminal with unlimited scroll-line history
I want to dump text I can see in terminal to file and parse it

Is there a way to do it?

Answer 1

If you want the whole contents of the terminal history:

In the gnome-terminal menu, Edit > Select All and then Edit > Copy. (Or use your favorite keyboard shortcut for the copy.)

Then paste anywhere.

If you want just part of the history, select with your mouse and then copy.

Answer 2

You could use the unix script command to capture things as you go.
