Does that change your prompt to HI there> ?
If so, then start adding your escape codes. Plus, you can usually only use ANSI escape sequences. If your terminal is in VT100 emulation mode those esc[1< >m sequences will not necessarily bold/unbold the text in your prompt.

I would like to "BOLD" print the hostname in the following statement:
export PS1=$USER"@"$(hostname -s):'$PWD>'
Is there a special character I can put before and after the variable to make it bold or blinking?
Thanks. (4 Replies)

Hello:
Any bash PS1 gurus in the house?
I have a custom 2-line prompt and it displays fine, but there is an occasional anomaly.
The backspace key sometimes takes out the 2nd line.
Here's the relevant ~/.bashrc code:

Pod::Text::Termcap(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Pod::Text::Termcap(3pm)NAME
Pod::Text::Termcap - Convert POD data to ASCII text with format escapes
SYNOPSIS
use Pod::Text::Termcap;
my $parser = Pod::Text::Termcap->new (sentence => 0, width => 78);
# Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
$parser->parse_from_filehandle;
# Read POD from file.pod and write to file.txt.
$parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.txt');
DESCRIPTION
Pod::Text::Termcap is a simple subclass of Pod::Text that highlights output text using the correct termcap escape sequences for the current
terminal. Apart from the format codes, it in all ways functions like Pod::Text. See Pod::Text for details and available options.
NOTES
This module uses Term::Cap to retrieve the formatting escape sequences for the current terminal, and falls back on the ECMA-48 (the same in
this regard as ANSI X3.64 and ISO 6429, the escape codes also used by DEC VT100 terminals) if the bold, underline, and reset codes aren't
set in the termcap information.

Pod::Text, Pod::Simple, Term::Cap
The current version of this module is always available from its web site at <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/podlators/>. It is also
part of the Perl core distribution as of 5.6.0.
