The "^[[01;34m" texts are ANSI Escape Sequences to colourise the
output of (g)ls. You can switch that off. Or execute ansi-color-for-
comint-mode-on. For example in your init file.
In many cases, ls gets coloring information from the environment
variable LS_COLORS. From a shell prompt, you can examine the value of
this variable by
echo $LS_COLORS
if LS_COLORS has a value, you can try unsetting the variable, to see
what effect that has
unset LS_COLORS
ls is not the only program that uses escape sequences for
colorization. For example, there are distributions that use escape
sequences to colorize the the shell prompt. bash's command prompt
comes from the environment variable $PS1; tcsh uses the environment
variable $prompt. You may want to look at these variables as well.
