I have device=ansi.sys in my config.nt.
Using the following scripts under unix bash (GNU bash, version 1.14.6(1)
works fine e.g. in a color xterm or pcvt.
Also using another sh.exe (Charles Forsyth's 2.0 MSDOS sh) in a DOS box
under NT 3.51 works fine.
But using bash (from gnu-win32 b17.1) results in failure.
The escape strings are not exported to the environment, i.e., they are
empty.
To reproduce, start
bash$ ./imho
imho:
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
###!/bin/sh
in0='[0m' ; export in0
in1='[1m' ; export in1
sw0='[30m' ; export sw0
rt0='[31m' ; export rt0
gn0='[32m' ; export gn0
gb0='[33m' ; export gb0
bl0='[34m' ; export bl0
mg0='[35m' ; export mg0
cn0='[36m' ; export cn0
ws0='[37m' ; export ws0
sw1='[40m' ; export sw1
rt1='[41m' ; export rt1
gn1='[42m' ; export gn1
gb1='[43m' ; export gb1
bl1='[44m' ; export bl1
mg1='[45m' ; export mg1
cn1='[46m' ; export cn1
ws1='[47m' ; export ws1
../bar
and bar:
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
##!/bin/sh
echo -n $in1$bl1'
Coose an OS'$in1$cn0'
Choices:
NT ___________________ '$in0$cn1$sw0' ?'$in1$cn0$bl1' Bleah
Linux ___________________ '$in0$cn1$sw0' 0'$in1$cn0$bl1' Good
'$rt1'F'$gn1'r'$gb1'e'$bl1'eBSD ___________________ '$in0$cn1$sw0' 1'$in1$cn0$bl1' Better
Your choice:'
read answer
echo $in0$sw1
exit
As a result, the script doesn't show any colors in response to the ANSI
strings since the export fails.
(Take the script contents with a :-)
