ConsoleZ FAQ

Does ConsoleZ support ANSI escape sequences?

  • No it doesn't: ConsoleZ is only a Windows console wrapper. It reads from the console screen buffer, and writes inputs into console input buffer (see MSDN documentation).
  • Yes it does: You can use ansicon to translate ANSI escape codes. Even with this tool, ANSI escaping is still restricted to Windows console capabilities. So, you are limited to 16 colors. Personally, it doesn't bother me. I never needed more than 8 different text colors to display readable text!
