Escape ANSI-codes

[vk26]

Hi. Many CLI tools output highlighted, colorized text. Special ANSI-codes are used in this cases. For example ruby linter fasterer output:

fasterer | cat -A
^[[0;31;49mtestdata/examples.rb:3^[[0m Array#shuffle.first is slower than Array#sample.$

where ^[[0;31;49m ... ^[[0m - red-color ANSI-codes.
I tried to handle this ANSI-codes via efm masks, but i didn't cope with it. May be is there solution for escaping ANSI-codes?

@vk26 👋You can use something in the middle to remove ANSi-codes. For example:

fasterer | sed 's/\x1b\[[0-9;]*m//g' | cat -A

@mgrachev Good idea! Thanks 👍
