Question

Is there a special trick to getting Io to switch the colors of terminal text? In Python I can run

print "\033[0;34;40mHi!"

and get a blue "Hi!".

In Io,

"\033[0;34;40mHi!" println

seems to have no effect.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Unfortunately it looks like Io sequences (strings) only convert single (alpha) character escape codes like \n or \t.

So (for now) this maybe the only workaround:

27 asCharacter .. "[0;34;40mHi!" println
