to see more help
Retrieves the textual content of a pane and output it to stdout.
For example:
$ wezterm cli get-text > /tmp/myscreen.txt
will capture the main (non-scrollback) portion of the current pane to /tmp/myscreen.txt
.
By default, just the raw text is captured without any color or styling escape sequences.
You may pass --escapes
to include those:
$ wezterm cli get-text --escapes > /tmp/myscreen-with-colors.txt
The default capture region is the main terminal screen, not including the scrollback.
You may use the --start-line
and --end-line
parameters to set the range.
Both of these accept integer values, where 0
refers to the top of the non-scrollback
screen area, and negative numbers index backwards into the scrollback.
