How to get styled string?

[yashrathi-git]

Hello,
I am really enjoying rich, it's so powerful I love it! I am using rich with click and would be nice if I could extract the string that could later be printed using builtin print

Ex:

>> styled_str = "[red on yellow]test[/]"
>> convert_to_str(styled_str)
'\x1b[31m\x1b[43mtest\x1b[0m'

Thank you

I found a way

def convert_to_str(e):
    with console.capture() as capture:
        console.print(str(e), highlight=False)
    str_out = capture.get()
    return str_out
