    What's the text? If you're referring to colour codes, you're presumably missing some escape characters. Is this supposed to read "ourStuff_2a947-user-zk4PaQ"?

    StackExchange for the win.

    Basically, they're escape codes, which means they start with the <ESC> character (ASCII 27, Octal 33, Hex 1B) and then have a regex-matchable format.

    The suggestions at the link above should help you (either just drop in the Perl script, or use the regexes offered in Java and/or shell with sed)
