QUESTION:
I'm trying to get rid of the ANSI characters and have tried various regex's however to no avail. How can I escape the regex characters, and dump the output into a list of dictionaries?
RESEARCH:
Looked up and read various sites:
- How can I remove the ANSI escape sequences from a string in python
- Python Code Examples for strip ansi
- How to remove the ANSI escape sequences from a string in Python?
IDEAL OUTPUT:
Ideally the print out should look like this,
download-with: you-get --itag=278 [URL] - itag: 278 container: mp4 quality: 192x144 (144p) size: 12.7 MiB (13285482 bytes)
download-with: you-get --itag=394 [URL] - itag: 394 container: mp4 quality: 192x144 (144p) size: 12.1 MiB (12663186 bytes)
However I'd like to dump it into a list of dictionaries:
[{
"download-with": "you-get --itag=278 [URL]",
"- itag": "278",
"container": "mp4",
"quality": "192x144 (144p)",
"size": "12.7 MiB (13285482 bytes)"
},
{
"download-with": "you-get --itag=394 [URL]",
"- itag": "394",
"container": "mp4",
"quality": "192x144 (144p)",
"size": "12.1 MiB (12663186 bytes)"
}]
