I use echo -e to color my scripts output, it works fine when using standard output.
But when I redirect the output to a file, vim doesn't show the colors, instead of that it shows signs like this ^[[
example:
echo -e "\e[32m Green message\e[0m";
echo -e "\e[31m Red message\e[0m";
with vim :
^[[32m Green message^[[0m
^[[31m Red message^[[0m
How to fix this.
NB: cat shows the colors too!!
