A crate for stripping ANSI escape sequences from byte sequences.
This can be used to take output from a program that includes escape sequences and write it somewhere that does not easily support them, such as a log file.
The strip function accepts bytes and returns a Vec of bytes with ANSI escape sequences removed.
```rust extern crate stripansiescapes;
use std::io::{self, Write};
fn work() -> io::Result<()> { let byteswithcolors = b"\x1b[32mfoo\x1b[m bar"; let plainbytes = stripansiescapes::strip(&byteswithcolors)?; io::stdout().writeall(&plain_bytes)?; Ok(()) }
fn main() { work().unwrap(); } ```
For writing directly to a writer, the Writer struct may be preferable.
```rust extern crate stripansiescapes;
use std::io::{self, Write}; use stripansiescapes::Writer;
fn work() -> io::Result<()> {
let byteswithcolors = b"\x1b[32mfoo\x1b[m bar";
let mut writer = Writer::new(io::stdout());
// Only foo bar will be written to stdout
writer.writeall(byteswith_colors)?;
Ok(())
}
fn main() { work().unwrap(); } ```
