Sed remove ANSI color codes for easy parsing

After a software update, a script responsible of triggering email alerts wasn't working as expected.

The reason why was colored output to the log file by the updated application, such as \033[37m2021-04-09 11:31:13.

You can remove those ANSI color codes with :

sed "s/\x1B\[[0-9;]*[a-zA-Z]//g" <inputfile>

or with

sed 's/\x1b\[[0-9;]*m//g' <inputfile>
