[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #9024] Colour-coded output text

[Lachlan Andrew]

Follow-up Comment #13, patch #9024 (project octave):

For Windows, can you see what happens (with or without the patch) with the
code


a = '.[38;5;160m';
a(1) = 27;
a


It should turn the text red.  If it doesn't, then the Windows terminal doesn't
accept ANSI escape sequences, and I have no idea how to change the colours.


The Linux case is puzzling.  If you put


output_highlight ('user', 'U', 'cmd_line', 'C', 'err', 'E', 'warn', 'W',
'sys', 'S');


in your .octaverc?  It should output the appropriate character whenever the
system would normally try to change colour.

Although none of the patches you have should affect the compile error, it is
possible that one is affecting the behaviour.  Could you try it on a the
default head?
