VT100 Terminal Emulation, ANSI chars and Serial Extender

Question:
First of all I would like to say that I love this serial extender! I think it is the next best thing since sliced bread! It seems so powerful and the Capturefile feature that converts your data to a HTML format is just very nice!Well down to my question, I am trying to attach to a serial device that only understand VT-100 emulation. I get the following from this device :
[12;27HWELCOME TO THE PROGRAMMERS[13;42HCYBER SPACEI can extract the text portion with no problems, but there is other information that if I view it with procomm I can see more stuff. For example with the following line :
Renewal Fee $[[2;37H]in procomm I see the works
Renewal Fee $[ 45.00]I would like to be able to extract that with WinBatch, however all I see is the 2;37H where there should be the number 45.00?
I thought that maybe there is a way to set the TERM up for Winbatch to "speak" to different devices.. Any ideas?
The 2;13H codes are ANSI codes. Is there a way to convert this ansi to plain text, or get the serial extender to recognize ANSI codes ? Thanks.
Answer:
OK, you are dealing with ANSI character sequences. Basically it is an ESC code followed by a few characters.If you have some data in a LINE variable, you can whack it with a few STRREPLACE functions to convert it back to normal text.
You have to track down the ANSI sequences that you have to translate. It should not be real real bad.
