[SOLVED]strange behavior from pipe to wgetpaste

I noticed today that when I pipe a command into wgetpaste or my sprunge function I see what looks like terminal colour codes

inxi -Fc 1 | wgetpaste

here is another with the same
http://bpaste.net/show/170455/
also one on sprunge

I normally use zsh but have tested from bash & I still get the same also I use terminator so I tried urxvt but alas the same happens!

I have no clue as to what is causing this, do you?

thanks for any help & if you need to see a config file please ask & I will try to get it for you.

That's not strange, it's what I would expect. inxi is using escape sequences to tell the terminal what colors to use. It doesn't know you're piping the output to wgetpaste. If you don't want escape sequences in your output, use "-c0" as in

inxi -Fc0 | wgetpaste
