A console program (translate-shell) has an output with colors and uses special decorate characters for this: ^[[22m, ^[[24m, ^[[1m... and so on.
I'd like to remove them to get a plain text.
I tried with tr -d "^[[22m" and with sed 's/[\^[[22m]//g', but only is removed the number, not the special character ^[
Thanks.
You have multiple options:
-no-ansi
as pointed out by Jens in other answerEDIT
The solution from commandlinefu does the job pretty well:
sed -r "s/\x1B\[([0-9]{1,2}(;[0-9]{1,2})?)?[m|K]//g"
The solution from unix.stackexchange might be better but is much longer and so you would want to create a separate script file because it is so long instead of just doing a shell one-liner.
I found this in the manual about the use of ANSI escape codes:
-no-ansi
Do not use ANSI escape codes.
So you should add this option when starting the program.
