<TITLE>ANSI.SYS -- ansi terminal emulation escape sequences</TITLE>
|
|
|
|
|
|
ANSI.SYS
|
|
|
|
|
|
Defines functions that change display graphics, control cursor movement, and
|
|
|
reassign keys. The ANSI.SYS device driver supports ANSI terminal emulation
|
|
|
of escape sequences to control your system's screen and keyboard. An ANSI
|
|
|
escape sequence is a sequence of ASCII characters, the first two of which
|
|
|
are the escape character (1Bh) and the left-bracket character (5Bh). The
|
|
|
character or characters following the escape and left-bracket characters
|
|
|
specify an alphanumeric code that controls a keyboard or display function.
|
|
|
ANSI escape sequences distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters;
|
|
|
for example,"A" and "a" have completely different meanings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Parameters used in ANSI escape sequences
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pn
|
|
|
Numeric parameter. Specifies a decimal number.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ps
|
|
|
Selective parameter. Specifies a decimal number that you use to select
|
|
|
a function. You can specify more than one function by separating the
|
|
|
parameters with semicolons.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PL
|
|
|
Line parameter. Specifies a decimal number that represents one of the
|
|
|
lines on your display or on another device.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pc
|
|
|
Column parameter. Specifies a decimal number that represents one of the
|
|
|
columns on your screen or on another device.

|
|
ANSI escape sequences for cursor movement, graphics, and keyboard settings
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the following list of ANSI escape sequences, the abbreviation ESC
|
|
|
represents the ASCII escape character 27 (1Bh), which appears at the
|
|
|
beginning of each escape sequence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ESC[PL;PcH
|
|
|
Cursor Position: Moves the cursor to the specified position
|
|
|
(coordinates). If you do not specify a position, the cursor moves to the
|
|
|
home position - the upper-left corner of the screen (line 0, column
|
|
|
0). This escape sequence works the same way as the following Cursor
|
|
|
Position escape sequence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ESC[PL;Pcf
|
|
|
Cursor Position: Works the same way as the preceding Cursor Position
|
|
|
escape sequence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ESC[PnA
|
|
|
Cursor Up: Moves the cursor up by the specified number of lines without
|
|
|
changing columns. If the cursor is already on the top line, ANSI.SYS
|
|
|
ignores this sequence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ESC[PnB
|
|
|
Cursor Down: Moves the cursor down by the specified number of lines
|
|
|
without changing columns. If the cursor is already on the bottom line,
|
|
|
ANSI.SYS ignores this sequence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ESC[PnC
|
|
|
Cursor Forward: Moves the cursor forward by the specified number of
|
|
|
columns without changing lines. If the cursor is already in the
|
|
|
rightmost column, ANSI.SYS ignores this sequence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ESC[PnD
|
|
|
Cursor Backward: Moves the cursor back by the specified number of
|
|
|
columns without changing lines. If the cursor is already in the leftmost
|
|
|
column, ANSI.SYS ignores this sequence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ESC[s
|
|
|
Save Cursor Position: Saves the current cursor position. You can move
|
|
|
the cursor to the saved cursor position by using the Restore Cursor
|
|
|
Position sequence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ESC[u
|
|
|
Restore Cursor Position: Returns the cursor to the position stored
|
|
|
by the Save Cursor Position sequence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ESC[2J
|
|
|
Erase Display: Clears the screen and moves the cursor to the home
|
|
|
position (line 0, column 0).
|
|
|
|
|
|
ESC[K
|
|
|
Erase Line: Clears all characters from the cursor position to the
|
|
|
end of the line (including the character at the cursor position).
|
|
|
|
|
|
ESC[Ps;...;Psm
|
|
|
Set Graphics Mode: Calls the graphics functions specified by the
|
|
|
following values. These specified functions remain active until the next
|
|
|
occurrence of this escape sequence. Graphics mode changes the colors and
|
|
|
attributes of text (such as bold and underline) displayed on the
|
|
|
screen.

|
|
|
|
|
|
ESC[=Psl
|
|
|
Reset Mode: Resets the mode by using the same values that Set Mode
|
|
|
uses, except for 7, which disables line wrapping. The last character
|
|
|
in this escape sequence is a lowercase L.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ESC[code;string;...p
|
|
|
Set Keyboard Strings: Redefines a keyboard key to a specified string.
|
|
|
The parameters for this escape sequence are defined as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Code is one or more of the values listed in the following table.
|
|
|
These values represent keyboard keys and key combinations. When using
|
|
|
these values in a command, you must type the semicolons shown in this
|
|
|
table in addition to the semicolons required by the escape sequence.
|
|
|
The codes in parentheses are not available on some keyboards.
|
|
|
ANSI.SYS will not interpret the codes in parentheses for those
|
|
|
keyboards unless you specify the /X switch in the DEVICE command for
|
|
|
ANSI.SYS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
String is either the ASCII code for a single character or a string
|
|
|
contained in quotation marks. For example, both 65 and "A" can be
|
|
|
used to represent an uppercase A.
|
|
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: Some of the values in the following table are not valid for all
|
|
|
computers. Check your computer's documentation for values that
|
|
|
are different.
