How to acquire the number of characters minus color codes

If $text is "\0034,1\xb0\xbaO\xa7\0030 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ $botnick command help ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"

then:

Code:

#In eggdrop 1.6.17 and later, you can use:set text [stripcodes bcruag $text]#If you want to count spaces as charactersset textlen [string length $text]#If you don't want to count spaces as charactersset textlen [string length [string map {" " ""} $text]]

Of course there's a way, strip off the stuff you don't want with either regsub or the stripcodes commands then use string length

How to acquire the number of characters minus color codes

2007-09-17T20:26:24-04:00

Is there a way to count the number of characters in a string minus the hex codes for colors?

"\0034,1\xb0\xbaO\xa7\0030 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ $botnick command help ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "

If I do a string length on that, that returns the total count of characters including the hex values and such. Is there any way to only only get a length of printable characters including the subst value of $botnick.
