Hello questions,
I'm trying to teach my SSH window colors. I'm currently trying to
get ANSI's 'reverse video' function to work.
The deal is that I have an export PS1 that includes ANSI sequences
that get rendered just fine. However, I'd like to 'simply' send an
ANSI invert-video when I wanna switch (because the sun's just moved
in the perfect glare-position ;).
Echo, however, doesn't wanna play. I suspect the parsing of \e
doesnt become a 1-byte ESC-character :((
Any idea how I can best send this ANSI-sequence to my console?
9# cat /usr/bin/scripts/stc
if [ $TERM != xterm ]; then
echo "You're not running this from inside an x-term. Aborting."
else
case $1 in
(b | black | B | BLACK)
echo \e[0m\]
;;
(w | white | W | WHITE)
echo \e[7m\]
;;
esac
fi
