I am having a beef with someone that is so bad I cant even think! He sent me a message but I think he was having a stroke. Please decipher the message while I beat them up.
```
## Solution
We can notice here, that a lot of characters are present including alphanumeric and couple other special characters. The challenge name implies `Brainfuck` Esoteric language.
The brainfuck character set contains `><+-.,[]` which we can see most of them present inside our ciphertext. We can write a regex to remove other non-brainfuck characters.
```
/[^A-Za-z0-9]/gm
```
This will match everything except `A-Za-z0-9` . The `g` denotes global and `m` being multi-line matches.
We get the output as
```
+[--------->++<]>+.++.-------.[--->+<]>+.[->+++++<]>-.-[--->+<]>--.+[->+++<]>+.++++++++.------------.[--->+<]>-.------------.---.[->+++<]>--.-[--->+<]>--.[--->+<]>----.+++[->+++<]>++.++++++++.+++++.[++>---<]>--.-[-->+++++++<]>.[->+++<]>.--[--->+<]>.+[->+++<]>+.++++++++.+++++.[->+++<]>++.++++.+++..+.>--[-->+++<]>.
```
Now, we can easily decode this encoded brainfuck text
