Question: How're you taking in the CP437 characters?

Hi! I'm working on a similar project, and I'm attempting to output the butler logs to a log. While I'm doing it in a different language and IDE, I wanted to ask how (or if) you took in the CP437 characters from a butler console window and output UTF-8 or otherwise characters, or how you got around such?

I don't recall needing to do anything particularly special with the output. butler has a --json flag which I used; it's possible that also makes it avoid any special characters for the console?

Mk, thanks - I had a look, but that hasn't removed them from the messages for me and I was partially hoping to log the raw console output - I'm working in WinForms so it may have something to do with that, but I'm not sure - either way, thanks for the help!

Update: For anyone doing the same thing in WinForms, I found a solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/18081958/14471738
