Yank without yanking colors about yank HOT 3 CLOSED

I've set

alias yank='sed -r "s/\x1B\[([0-9]{1,2}(;[0-9]{1,2})?)?[mGK]//g" | sed "s/\x0f//g" | yank'

which solves the problem, kind of , but the output is not colored anymore

from yank.

Thanks for the report. However commands that is part of a chain of pipes
usually don't output ANSI escape sequence colors unless you explicitly
tell them to. Like the grep(1) --color=always option. If you still
want colors in the input sent to yank you could simply strip the yanked
field after. Notice yank command won't be invoked since the output is
piped, therefore the last call to xsel(1) is needed which of course
could be any command of your choice.

alias yank='yank | sed -r "s/\x1B[([0-9]{1,2}(;[0-9]{1,2})?)?[mGK]//g" | sed "s/\x0f//g" | xsel'

I have some custom commands that always output colors, that's why I needed this.

Your trick to put the pipes after the yank is great, I didn't know that yank would output to stdout when it is piped.
