Alright... I am attempting to find a way to parse ANSI text from a telnet application. However, I am experiencing a bit of trouble.
What I want to do is have all ANSI sequences _removed_ from the output, save for those that manage color codes or text presentation (in short, the ones that are ESC[#m (with additional #s separated by ; characters). The ones that are left, the ones that are the color codes, I want to act on, and remove from the text stream, and display the text. I am using wxPython's TextCtrl as output, so when I "get" an ANSI color control sequence, I want to basically turn it into a call to wxWidgets' TextCtrl.SetDefaultStyle method for the control, adding the appropriate color/brightness/italic/bold/etc. settings to the TextCtrl until the next ANSI code comes in to alter it. It would *seem* easy, but I cannot seem to wrap my mind around the idea. :-/ I have a source tarball up at http://fd0man.theunixplace.com/Tmud.tar which contains the code in question. In short, the information is coming in over a TCP/IP socket that is traditionally connected to with a telnet client, so things can be broken mid-line (or even mid-control sequence). If anyone has any ideas as to what I am doing, expecting, or assuming that is wrong, I would be delighted to hear it. The code that is not behaving as I would expect it to is in src/AnsiTextCtrl.py, but I have included the entire project as it stands for completeness. Any help would be appreciated!
