I use PuTTY and turn on logging; captures the output to a file

probably the same method available in whatever flavour of terminal emulator you use

putty, terraterm and MMEdit and I think, GFXterm all do capture.

If the data contains non printable bytes such as chr(0), You have to test the options. MMEdit has HEXview for inspecting the data.
If you want anything special, use MMB4W
