How do i get rid of these escape characters. Looking for some sort of regex

Question

I am trying to output the output of neofetch to a discord embed for a project of mine. Is there any easy way to get rid of that escape sequence at the start and end of the embed.

the command i used to generate the output is neofetch --off --color_blocks off | sed 's/\x1b\[[0-9;]*[a-zA-Z]//g'

Answer 1

Those escape sequences are color codes.

You can use the --stdout option to disable all coloring:

neofetch --off --color_blocks off --stdout

See neofetch --help:

...
--stdout Turn off all colors and disables any ASCII/image backend.
