Removing ANSI escape sequences from a log file
Just another small note for self, from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17998978/removing-colors-from-output.
Frequently when recording the screen output with e.g. "script", I end up with the screen log full of ANSI escape codes... not so useful for later processing.
A "simple" sed command to deal with this:
cat logfile |
sed -r "s/\x1B\[([0-9]{1,2}(;[0-9]{1,2})?)?[mGK]//g"
