Dumping GNU screen output

I like to have a copy of my screen sessions as a text file for future reference and reporting when i do my pentests.

while in screen type c-a :hardcopy -h dumpofwindow1

this should create a file "dumpofwindow1" in the home dir.

You can view it with cat

*-h dumps the entire scrollback buffer. its improtant to remember that its useless if you are in less or vi or something similar.
