You might be able to eliminate the second SHELL statement by changing "\x20\x1B+\x0A" to "\x20\x1B+\x0A|[^\x20]\x1B+".
This is an OR condition where the RegEx engine will match "\x20\x1B+\x0A" or "[^\x20]\x1B+". The [^\x20] says any character that is not a "space". This makes the two condition mutually exclusion and therefore should run smoothly without stepping on each other.
Give it a try and let me know.
