This is how I do.. right, wrong, indifferent.
It works.
If you call this more than once inside a printf/sprintf or whatever,
you'll need to strcpy the results into a char. Otherwise it'll trash itself.
char *remove_color(char *string)
{
static char newstring[MSL];
int counter=0, i;
int len;
if (!string[0]) return NULL;
len = strlen(string);
for (i=0; i<len; i++){
if (string[i]=='{' || (i>=1 && string[i-1] == '{'))
continue;
if (string[i]=='}')
continue;
newstring[counter]=string[i];
counter++;
}
newstring[counter]=0;
return newstring;
}
