A library that provides a function to fix ANSI escaping problem in Command Prompt on Windows.
Simply run setup_console::init() (or setup_console::try_init()) in the main function before printing anything.
rust
fn main() {
println!("\x1b[31mRed \x1b[32mGreen \x1b[34mBlue\x1b[39m");
// ･[31mRed ･[32mGreen ･[34mBlue･[39m
setup_console::init();
println!("\x1b[31mRed \x1b[32mGreen \x1b[34mBlue\x1b[39m");
// Red Green Blue
}
This only applies to Windows.
setup_console::init() doesn't panic, but shows message and terminates program with error code obtained from
GetLastError()
instead.
The situations that would lead program to terminate would be
- when stdout is invalid (e.g. program 1>nul)
- when program fails to run GetConsoleMode()
- when program fails to run SetConsoleMode()
If this is not your desired behavior, you can use setup_console::try_init() which returns Result.
