Make less think that characters other than the standard ones may appear between the ESC and the m by Variable LESSANSIENDCHARS to the list of characters which can end a color escape sequence. Think that characters other than "m" can end ANSI color escape sequences by setting the environment Some terminals support the ability to pass in special escape sequences to alter the color, weight, and appearance of the text being printed. Screen appearance, ANSI color escape sequences are assumed to not move the cursor. Where the "." is zero or more color specification characters For the purpose of keeping track of ANSI "color" escape sequences are sequences of the form: Unlike -r, the screen appear-Īnce is maintained correctly in most cases. > I have searched the archives and, although there are lots of mentions of > escape sequences, nothing seems to match this problem. Like -r, but only ANSI "color" escape sequences are output in "raw" form. If > I enter > ls -color > then I see nicely coloured names but in man I see escape sequences. The man page for less explains the feature in greater detail: -R or -RAW-CONTROL-CHARS > * Load up our functions for grabbing content from posts Control sequences The majority of these escape codes start with \x1b. If you look at an ASCII table, 0x1b is literally called ESC, and this is basically why. These are all the same thing: they’re just various ways of inserting the byte 27 into a string. 5th edition, June 1991 This Ecma Standard defines control functions and their coded representations for use in a 7-bit code, an extended 7-bit code, an 8-bit code or an extended 8-bit code, if such a code is structured in accordance with Standard ECMA-35. Toss in the -R flag and you’ll be able to see the colors properly (no colors to see here, but use your imagination): $ colordiff chunk/functions.php chunk-old/functions.php | less -R ANSI escapes always start with \x1b, or \e, or \033. When you have bash output with colors, less doesn’t handle the color codes properly by default: $ colordiff chunk/functions.php chunk-old/functions.php | lessĮSC[0 34m> * Load up our functions for grabbing content from postsESC[0 0mĮSC[0 34m> require( get_template_directory(). These are all the same thing: they’re just various ways of inserting the byte 27 into a string. This post is a quick one but I wanted to share it since I taught it to someone new today. ANSI escapes always start with x1b, or e, or 033. ![]()
