Remove Parts of a string between two sets of characters.

[Rod42]

Those sequences look like vt-52 / vt-100 screen control and cursor addressing sequences. They all start with an ascii "escape" character (Hex 1b) followed by "["

See http://ascii-table.com/ansi-escape-sequences.php for example

Rod.

Edit: You should look to remove "esc" followed by "[" then  any sequence of digits and semi colon and a single letter (upper or lower case) 

I'm a bit rusty on regular expressions, but I know there will be experts reading this!

Hey, the problem makes a lot more sense now.  The left arrow doesn't show up in my browser either.  It was just there in my string control when I pasted.  Apparently I missed that first arrow since I did not have that.  Hence why I have the first Match Pattern looking for the [ as well.

I don't see the left arrows in the original post either, but do see them in Mancho's quote of the original post and Crossrulz's quote of Mancho's post.

(Different font being used that displays it in one and not the other?)

I copied the post to an image rather than text, so it would be clear to all.  It's probably a browser difference.

Anyway.. I would go with

sequences look like vt-52 / vt-100 screen control

 It's probably a browser difference.

Safari, Firefox and Chrome all show it the same here.

 Mac or Windows.

[Mancho00]

Windows 7 here.

Chrome shows it.

IE does not.

A possible regex solution

Looks like I am going to go after removing the vt-52 / vt-100 commands.

The data after what I posted dropped the 2K before what I want to keep.

My new question is how do I enter multiple items I want gone or replaced in the search string?

[Mancho00 · Accepted solution]

I'm not sure I'd look for each possible item.  Just change the regex to look for each command.  This looks for escape followed by bracket, number (optional ; and number), then alpha char.
