Removing VT220 control characters with GAWK

I've been trying to use GAWK to remove VT220 control characters from an
Expect capture file. The pattern I'm trying to remove is as follows:

        ESC[xx;xxH

Where 'xx;xx' represents the row/column. What I'd like to do is
something like this:

        { FS = "\033\[*H"; OFS = "," }

So far, I've had no luck removing the escape strings, or even just the
escape code (\033) itself. Am I going the wrong way about this?
