Oh by the way, I was able to watch the entirety of Vulcan Thunder without a single ANSI character showing up in my logs using the regex I listed above! So I think that's a good enough test, don't you?

That's a pretty good test.



Will that match a Select Graphic Rendition (SGR) with more than two parameters?

i.e. ^[1;32;44m

It may not happen very often, but it is valid.

Also note that the letters listed are only the most common escape sequinces, and not a complete list according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code.

Yeah, I noticed that it wasn't a full list - but I think it's probably good enough for my purposes.

Oh, it should catch that code you listed, the * after the group will match that sequence zero or more times.

The Cineplex is essential to gameplay. IIRC, I had to make some adjustments to my emulation to display the movies correctly.

this is like the most interesting thread here. hey supg!

I don't play anymore, but i still dabble with programming and stuff. well i played for a little bit, but now decided not to play games.

what are you working on requiring removing ansi codes?

Hey Tweety, nice to see you again!

Just screwin' around with a pet project of mine that I'd wanted to do for a long time. Creating a C#/SQL based proxy a la TWX. Seemed like a good idea when I started at least..

That sounds like a good project... is this a port of twx or a new project? i.e. are you trying to support twx scripts?
