ANSI-koder i konsollen til windows XP

[10goto10]

Knoter jo litt med C++ for tiden, og fikk lyst til å få litt farger på teksten fra konsoll-programmene. Vil helst også ha det cross-plattform uten for mye knot.

Windows, selvsagt, har jo ikke ANSI-koder til sin cmd.exe konsoll. Før kunne man lastet ansi.sys, men XP/NT bruker ikke config.sys lenger. Dog en config.nt, men det fikk jeg ikke til. (ANSI.sys in NT - ikke helt XP men..)

Derimot fant jeg Ansicon , som jeg kunne kjøre de kompilerte programmene gjennom istedenfor cmd. Det eneste som trengs er å kopiere ansi.dll og ansicon.exe til et sted inneholdt i path-variabelen, eller rett i mappen til programmet du vil kjøre. Dermed blir det litt knot i windows, men så fungerer det i linux på samme måten også!

ved kommando-linjen:

ansisys programnavn

Funket fint med de fleste ANSI-kodene

laget et lite program for å teste:

/*
   Colortext
   
   A test to display text in ANSI color codes

   Requires an ANSI driver loaded.
   
   In windows XP, use Jason Hood's ANSICON (freeware):
      http://www.geocities.com/jadoxa/ansicon/index.html
   
   Use:
      start cmd, then run program via ansicon:
         ansicon <programname> 
      
      in this case (to test):
         ansicon colortext

}

Funket fint!
Funket også i linux (da uten å trenge en ansisys selvsagt)

Uten ansisys vil man se endel koder foran teksten som skulle vært formattert, litt forvirrende men fullt kjørbart som program.
