Quote:Original post by Anon Mike Escape sequences are just as system-dependent as system(). They won't work on the default Windows console for example.
Then the default windows console doesn't implement the ASCII properly, or am I wrong here?

The escape sequences are what's known as ANSI, not ASCII In dos based instances of windows (pre nt) you had to load the ansi.sys device driver using config.sys during startup to install support for them Don't believe nt has support @ all
But this is the *nix forum soo.. it doesn't matter :D
Is it safe to presume nix always has ansi support?
