Steps to reproduce

$rightText = @("  This is other", "example text used!") -join [Environment]::NewLine
$leftText = @("This is some", "example text.") -join [Environment]::NewLine
compare-text $leftText $rightText -view side | out-string -str | %{$_.replace("`e","``e")}

Expected behavior

the escape sequence should be correct

Actual behavior

The output looks as follows:

`e[0m1 | `e[0mThis is `e[1;9;31msome`e[0m`e[0m `e[0m | `e[0;1;32m  `e[0mThis is `e[0;1;32mother`e…`e[0m
`e[0m`e[0m`e[1;9;31m`e[0m`e[0m`e[0m`e[0;1;32m`e[0m`e[0;1;32m`e[0m2 | `e[0mexample text`e[1;9;31m.`e[0m`e[0m | `e[0mexample text`e[0;1;32m…`e[0m

before the ellipsis of the first line of output there is an extraneous "`e" (or perhaps an escape sequence which is incomplete)

Error details

there is no error

[JamesWTruher]

it looks more like the truncation is not tracking whether it's in the middle of an escape sequence (which is quite tricky)

Use PSStyle class to remove escape sequences to calculate length/width correctly
