Hello, I am having an issue with ANSI colors in Redhat linux.
I am running a script where the colours have been set very early on as follows:
Code:
# Reset
Color_Off='\033[0m' # Text Reset
# Regular Colors
Black='\033[0;30m' # Black
Red='\033[0;31m' # Red
Green='\033[0;32m' # Green
Yellow='\033[0;33m' # Yellow
Blue='\033[0;34m' # Blue
Purple='\033[0;35m' # Purple
Cyan='\033[0;36m' # Cyan
White='\033[0;37m' # White
# Bold
BBlack='\033[1;30m' # Black
BRed='\033[1;31m' # Red
BGreen='\033[1;32m' # Green
BYellow='\033[1;33m' # Yellow
BBlue='\033[1;34m' # Blue
BPurple='\033[1;35m' # Purple
BCyan='\033[1;36m' # Cyan
BWhite='\033[1;37m' # White
Later in the script these are used to color define sections of output by reffering to them using:
Code:
${White} blah blah blah ${Color_off}
Now this works fine on an AIX server I have already deplyed this too, but Redhat seems not to interpret these codes as the output is for example:
Code:
\033[0;37m blah blah blah \033[0m
The script runs in korn shell (ksh) and I have tried running it as bash although it breaks some other parts of the script and does not help with the color issue.
Has anyone experienced this or have any possibly solutions for me?
(Apart from removing the color coding as this is my backup option)
