Escape sequences. ANSI escape sequences all begin with Escape[, with the following characters specifying the action to be performed. Nansi implements a subset of the DEC VT102 terminal control codes. It differs from Microsoft's ANSI.SYS in being a lot faster, and adding support for the Add Line and Delete Line instructions. Once NANSI is loaded, you use the PROMPT to issue the escape sequences. For instance, I use something like this: PROMPT=$e[s$e[H$e[7m$e[K$D $B $P$e[m$e[u$g It does the following: $e[s Save the cursor location $e[H Home the cursor to the top left of the screen $e[7m Set inverse video $e[K Clear to end of line $D print current date $B Print pipe symbol $P Print current drive/directory $e[m End attributes $e[u Restore cursor to stored location $g Print > on screen This creates an inverse video status bar at the top of the screen with current date and directory, which stays there while the > moves down. The prompt command redraws the status bar at screen top after each command entry. If I want to fiddle with colors, those are settable via ANSI escape sequences too. See http://help.fdos.org/en/hhstndrd/base/nansi.htm for a list of what NANSI supports. ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
