  • ANSI escape code

    In computing, ANSI escape codes (or escape sequences) are a method using in-band signaling to control the formatting, color, and other output options on video text terminals. To encode this formatting information, certain sequences of bytes are embedded into the text, which the terminal looks for and interprets as commands, not as character codes.

    ANSI codes were introduced in the 1970s and became widespread in the minicomputer/mainframe market by the early 1980s. They were used by the nascent bulletin board system market to offer improved displays compared to earlier systems lacking cursor movement, leading to even more widespread use.

    Although hardware text terminals have become increasingly rare in the 21st century, the relevance of the ANSI standard persists because most terminal emulators interpret at least some of the ANSI escape sequences in the output text. One notable exception is the win32 console component of Microsoft Windows.

    History

    Almost all manufacturers of video terminals added vendor-specific escape sequences to perform operations such as placing the cursor at arbitrary positions on the screen. One example is the VT52 terminal, which allowed the cursor to be placed at an x,y location on the screen by sending the ESC character, a y character, and then two characters representing with numerical values equal to the x,y location plus 32 (thus starting at the ASCII space character and avoiding the control characters).

    Watch Me Now

    by: Play

    Don't you cry, don't you look so sad
    We both knew somehow this day would come
    I know you want what is best for me
    And I need to see you smile
    From where I started off to where I am
    It's a million miles, I can't go back there again
    But no matter where I go from here
    You will be part of me from now on
    For every door that opens up
    When another has to close
    You got to trust me now
    Be strong and let me go
    Watch me now as I go my way
    The time has come
    And I gotta say I'm not afraid
    Watch me now, every step I take
    I feel stronger, so much stronger
    The road ahead is a mystery
    Your love is here
    Oh and I believe inside of me
    Watch me now, I can stand my ground
    I will be alright, yes I'll be alright
    You were someone who believed in me
    When I wasn't even sure of myself
    And I always will remember how
    You were always there to help
    And I heard so many things from you
    And I'm ready now to try them out in the world
    Though it hurts too much to say goodbye
    We both know (We both know)
    There's no other way
    I will feel your loving arms
    When I'm out there in the cold
    'Cause all of my thoughts of you
    Will still be mine to hold
    Watch me now as I go my way
    The time has come
    And I gotta say I'm not afraid
    Watch me now, every step I take
    I feel stronger, so much stronger
    The road ahead is a mystery
    Your love is here
    Oh and I believe inside of me
    Watch me now, I can stand my ground
    I will be alright, yes I'll be alright
    You will find me running back sometime
    When I really need a guiding hand
    We'll be closer than we were before
    And I know that you will understand
    I know you'll understand
    Watch me now as I go my way
    The time has come
    And I gotta say I'm not afraid
    Watch me now, every step I take
    I feel stronger, so much stronger
    The road ahead is a mystery
    Your love is here
    Oh and I believe inside of me
    Watch me now, I can stand my ground
    I will be alright, yes I'll be alright
