You can use regexes to remove the ANSI escape sequences from a string in Python. Simply substitute the escape sequences with an empty string using re.sub(). The regex you can use for removing ANSI escape sequences is: '(\x9B|\x1B\[)[0-?]*[ -\/]*[@-~]'.
For example,
import re def escape_ansi(line): ansi_escape =re.compile(r'(\x9B|\x1B\[)[0-?]*[ -\/]*[@-~]') return ansi_escape.sub('', line) print escape_ansi(line = '\t\u001b[0;35mSomeText\u001b[0m\u001b[0;36m172.18.0.2\u001b[0m')
This will give the output:
'\tSomeText 172.18.0.2'
