  • Remove color codes (special characters) with sed

    This command builds upon some of the original commands posted here. Additions - The control sequence \x1b(B which selects the default character set ASCII. - Either the \x1B style escape sequence or the \033. - Case insensitivity by using 'I' to include \x1b, \x1B escapes and a-zA-Z in the latter part Tested extensively on makefile unbuffered output where the above additions proved necessary
