FAILLIE:
Hello,
Can someone explain to me why I can't use escape character
in a string ?
I'm trying to send control code to the terminal but ESC is
never transmited.
I tried
f:write('033円[?17;0;0c')
and
f:write('\x1b[?17;0;0c')
but none worked :(
I finally found
f:write(string.char(0x1b)
.. '[?17;0;0c')
which is working but I don't get why I can't
escape ... ESC ?
Thanks
Laurent
The first escape will encode an exclamation mark, ASCII code 33.
The second should work; although the code is to reset the terminal's
state and normally not used with parameters.
You may have looked for "27円[17;0;0m".
