A program I wrote, attached.  Replacing it is probably a good idea ;-)

	title	escape sequence printer

cseg	segment
	assume	cs:cseg,ds:cseg
	org	100h

start:	mov	si,81h
	mov	cl,ds:[80h]
	mov	ch,0
	cmp	cx,0
	je	exit
	cmp	byte ptr es:[si],' '	; skip leading space if there
	jne	found_nonwhite
	inc	si
	dec	cx
found_nonwhite:

lp1:	mov	dl,[si]
	inc	si
	dec	cx
	or	cx,cx
	js	exit
	cmp	dl,'\'			; quoted character?
	jne	nexact
	mov	dl,[si]			; get next exactly
	inc	si
	dec	cx
	or	cx,cx
	js	exit
	jmp	print
nexact:	cmp	dl,'^'			; control character?
	jne	print
	mov	dl,[si]			; get next control
	inc	si
	dec	cx
	or	cx,cx
	js	exit
	and	dl,1fh
print:
	mov	ah,0eh			; print it
	mov	bl,0fh
	mov	al,dl
	int	10h
	jmp	lp1

exit:	int	20h

cseg	ends
	end	start
