Tim here. I usually run within tmux which gives me a scrollback
"copy mode" I can navigate and copy portions. So I might do
(assuming control+b is my prefix-key)
control+b
space (starts the selection)
g (goes to the top)
enter (ends/captures the selection)
I can then use
tmux showb
to dump that to standard out (or pipe it to a file or some other
program if I need) such as
tmux showb > scrollback.txt
or
tmux showb | grep -i "spatula"
or even send it to a remote machine
tmux showb | ssh me at example.com "cat > scrollback_remote.txt"
There might be terminal-specific was to do similar things, but tmux
works in all of them.
Here's hoping that gives you something to work with,
