> @nddipiazza @tballison This looks messy, can you advise a way to clean it up? A better way of doing it? Still think its worth having the comments there? OMG, what a mess. The output, not you. What I've done before is a regex pattern+matcher that captures the escape sequence first OR then the controls ~/(\\\\)|(\\[A-Z0-9]{1,5})/, capture group(2) (and skip it), append group 1 to tail. That's a rough answer and probably wrong, but see what you can do. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
