I’m not sure about vim, but if you’re just viewing a log file (ie you don’t need to be able to edit) you could use less: less -R
Both answers here fail to mention the Truecolor ANSI support for 8bpc color. This will get the RGB color the OP originally asked for. Instead of ;5, use ;2, and specify the R, G, and B values (0-255) in the following three control segments. \x1b[38;2;40;177;249m To test if your terminal supports Truecolor: printf “\x1b[38;2;40;177;249mTRUECOLOR\x1b[0m\n” On … Read more
There’s already a function for applying color to comint buffers. You simply need to enable it on compilation buffers: (require ‘ansi-color) (defun colorize-compilation-buffer () (toggle-read-only) (ansi-color-apply-on-region compilation-filter-start (point)) (toggle-read-only)) (add-hook ‘compilation-filter-hook ‘colorize-compilation-buffer) Color writing programs should check the TERM environment variable and the terminfo database to check if the terminal supports color. In practice, a … Read more

Your script is trying to set absolute cursor position to 60 (^[[60G) to get all the OKs in a line, which your sed line doesn’t cover. (Properly, … Read more
The ANSI escape sequences you’re looking for are the Select Graphic Rendition subset. All of these have the form \033[XXXm where XXX is a series of semicolon-separated parameters. To say, make text red, bold, and underlined (we’ll discuss many other options below) in C you might write: printf(“\033[31;1;4mHello\033[0m”); In C++ you’d use std::cout<<“\033[31;1;4mHello\033[0m”; In Python3 … Read more
