  • ANSI codes in file_index_help.ans

    From Björn Wiberg@2:201/137 to g00r00 on Mon Aug 2 09:22:02 2021
    Hello g00r00!

    On my system, when entering the (I)ndexed File Lister, hitting Ctrl+Z for help and then any key, I get a more prompt.

    I do use the rcspause animated more prompt script, but regardless of that, I noticed that the ^[[0m | CL | AO | PO codes (which are in msg_index_help.ans) appear to be missing from file_index_help.ans, which could explain this.

    After adding that "init" to file_index_help.ans, everything works as intended.

    Perhaps something to add to future versions of file_index_help.ans?

    Best regards
    Björn

    Did you edit it or set your screen size to something smaller than 24? The default file has 23 lines in it but if you open it and resave it in an editor sometimes it will save as a 25 line or larger image even when the screen size is smaller. Or if you are logging in with less than 24 lines per screen of course it should be pausing in that case.

    Oops -- sorry for the false alarm!

    I edited it with Emacs and for some reason a new line was added following the | PN when saving it. Removed the newline now and it works like a charm (even without the init codes that msg_index_help.ans has). :)

    Thanks agin!
