In case you are wondering how to get your ANSI colored strings into windows terminal, the following snippet might help you (from C):
#include <stdio.h> #include <windows.h> #ifndef ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING # define ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING 0x0004 #endif int main(int argc, char** argv) { HANDLE hOut = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); DWORD dwMode = 0; GetConsoleMode(hOut, &dwMode); dwMode |= ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING; SetConsoleMode(hOut, dwMode); printf("\x1b[101;93m Testing\x1b[0m\n"); return 0; }
