Forums Feature Suggestions Ansi Color Codes

i was disspointed to find out that mIRC didn't parse the ansi color control codes even though i checked the box in the options dialog. if i am correct, these are ansi color control codes. if they arent, then where can i find a list of the correct ansi codes that mirc supports and could the ansi codes i linked be added?

mirc does parse ANSI codes, but only from incoming messages, not with /echo for example.

//.notice $me $chr(27) $+ [1mhello
result: -qwerty- hello

//echo -a $chr(27) $+ [1mhello
result: hello

You can always use $ansi2mirc() though: //echo -a $ansi2mirc($chr(27) $+ [1mhello)

A suggestion could be a new switch for /echo that makes it interpret ANSI codes (-o maybe?)

thankyou. this is just what i need

i cant really complain, but it does lack processing for bold

Yeah it simply strips bold..

That's because 1m is also (?) used for "bright", at least that's what I gathered from a quick google search. Examples:

//echo -a $ansi2mirc($chr(27) $+ [32mblah)
prints "blah" in green

//echo -a $ansi2mirc($chr(27) $+ [1;32mblah)
prints "blah" in bright green

Such an weird text formatting code, heh.
The "bright" idea sounds interesting IMO though..

ah, well, it doesnt strip bold, it doesnt al ways process it correctly
//echo -a $ansi2mirc($chr(27) $+ [1;32mblah)
is bright green
//echo -a $ansi2mirc($chr(27) $+ [32;1mblah)
is green.
i might just make my own parser...it would definately look better
