[UPDATE] For latest Windows 10 please read useful contribution by @brainslugs83, just below in the comments to this answer. While for versions before Windows 10 Anniversary Update: ANSI.SYS has a restriction that it can run only in the context of the MS-DOS sub-system under Windows 95-Vista. Microsoft KB101875 explains how to enable ANSI.SYS in a … Read more
Your best bet is probably to use the colorama module. In fact, I believe that the Windows console does not support ANSI colors natively. colorama solves this difficulty by intercepting ANSI sequences and performing the appropriate Windows color change calls. This way, your code can be quite portable, as it can print colors in the … Read more
I’m afraid you forgot the ESC character: #include <cstdio> int main() { printf(“%c[%dmHELLO!\n”, 0x1B, 32); } Unfortunately it will only work on consoles that support ANSI escape sequences (like a linux console using bash, or old Windows consoles that used ansi.sys)
Both answers here fail to mention the Truecolor ANSI support for 8bpc color. This will get the RGB color the OP originally asked for. Instead of ;5, use ;2, and specify the R, G, and B values (0-255) in the following three control segments. \x1b[38;2;40;177;249m To test if your terminal supports Truecolor: printf “\x1b[38;2;40;177;249mTRUECOLOR\x1b[0m\n” On … Read more
You cannot print bold with Java System.out. It just streams to the standard output stream so, in principle, it is unformatted text only. However, some software packages interpret special character sequences (the so-called ANSI escape sequences) to allow formatting. Note that ANSI escape sequences start with an escape character, so you need to add that … Read more
aha is a C-language program, available in an Ubuntu package, at http://ziz.delphigl.com/tool_aha.php or on github https://github.com/theZiz/aha, that takes an input with terminal colors by pipe or file and puts a (w3c conform) HTML-File in stdout. Example: ls –color=always | aha > ls-output.htm or ls –color=always | aha –black > ls-output.htm for a terminal-like look with … Read more
According to Wikipedia, the [m|K] in the sed command you’re using is specifically designed to handle m (the color command) and K (the “erase part of line” command). Your script is trying to set absolute cursor position to 60 (^[[60G) to get all the OKs in a line, which your sed line doesn’t cover. (Properly, … Read more
For windows, calling os.system(“”) makes the ANSI escape sequence get processed correctly: import os os.system(“”) # enables ansi escape characters in terminal COLOR = { “HEADER”: “\033[95m”, “BLUE”: “\033[94m”, “GREEN”: “\033[92m”, “RED”: “\033[91m”, “ENDC”: “\033[0m”, } print(COLOR[“GREEN”], “Testing Green!!”, COLOR[“ENDC”])
It’s not a junk. These are ANSI escape codes that are normally interpreted by a terminal client to pretty print the output. If the server is correctly configured, you get these only, when you use an interactive terminal, in other words, if you requested a pseudo terminal for the session (what you should not, if … Read more
Carriage return means to return to the beginning of the current line without advancing downward. The name comes from a printer’s carriage, as monitors were rare when the name was coined. This is commonly escaped as \r, abbreviated CR, and has ASCII value 13 or 0x0D. Linefeed means to advance downward to the next line; … Read more
