Colors in Terminal

[cmpitg]

Hi guys,



I'm developing a console application which makes use of VT-100 compatible terminals.  Usually, to produce text color, I use the escaped phrase `\033$COLOR_CODE`.  For example, to output the world "Hello world" in red, I use

Code Select Expand


echo "\033[41mHello world!"


In newLISP, I tried to do the same thing with

Code Select Expand


(println "\\033[41mHello world!")
(println {\033[41mHello world!})


But neither works. Does anyone know how to produce colors in terminal with newLISP?

[m i c h a e l]

This works using Terminal on OS X:

Code Select Expand

(println "27[0;31mHello world!27[0m")


Hope this helps.

Thank you very much! I'm using ROXTerm in Gentoo GNU/Linux with Zsh and it works beautifully :-).



Now I understand.  ASCII's 033 in octal is equivalent to 27 in decimal.  (Somehow) newLISP uses decimal system to describe escape codes instead of octal.

Is there any way to apply colors in terminal in order files/folders to differ when i connect to a server ? As you know files/folders are the same color so it would be easer for me to recognize folders or files at a glance. I have made this change

export CLICOLOR=1

export LSCOLORS=ExFxCxDxBxegedabagacad

export PS1="[33[1;32m][$(date +%H:%M)][hu: W$ [33[0m] "

but it doesn't work with ssd connection through terminal.

thanks!!
