Outputting colours in HP-UX scripts

Hi all,

This is my first ever posting, so please be gentle with me Smilie

I'm trying to write a script in HP-UX which outputs text in different colours, but although I can get the script to output different colours to the screen, I can't get it to write different colours to a file. Take the following example:

Code:
 
FGNORMS=$(printf "\033[m")
FGGREEN=$(printf "\033[1;32m")
FGBLUE=$(printf "\033[1;36m")
echo $FGGREEN"Business Unit 9 Totals                  : "$FGNORMS
echo $FGBLUE"Business Unit 9 Totals                  : "$FGNORMS
echo $FGGREEN"Business Unit 9 Totals                  : "$FGNORMS >> testlogfile.txt
echo $FGBLUE"Business Unit 9 Totals                  : "$FGNORMS >> testlogfile.txt

When I run it from my terminal, it outputs:
Code:
Business Unit 9 Totals                  :
Business Unit 9 Totals                  :

where the first line is green, and the second is blue.

The testlogfile.txt, however, shows:
Code:
^[[1;32mBusiness Unit 9 Totals                  : ^[[m
^[[1;36mBusiness Unit 9 Totals                  : ^[[m

with no colours.

Anyone help me please?

Use of colours.

Any chance you might change the icon's that indicate New/No New Posts in the forum. For those who suffer colour blindness of varrying degrees it has become a bit of a problem (myself included) with the new colour scheme. Cheers, Cameron (4 Replies)
