Script function

world.AnsiNote

Type

Method

Summary

Make a note in the output window from text with ANSI colour codes imbedded

Prototype

void AnsiNote(BSTR Text);

Description

Sends "Text" to the output window, changing colour, bold, underline etc. if it gets ANSI sequences in the text. ANSI sequences are things like ESC [ 30 m. You can use the ANSI function to set them up.

AnsiNote saves the current world note colour, and restores it afterwards, so that any colour changes do not persist to subsequent note lines.

The ANSI sequences defined in the ANSI function will be recognised.

Available in MUSHclient version 3.37 onwards.

VBscript example

AnsiNote ANSI (32) & ANSI (1) & ANSI (43) & _
          "This is bold green text on a yellow background"

Jscript example

AnsiNote (ANSI (32) + ANSI (1) + ANSI (43) + 
         "This is bold green text on a yellow background");

PerlScript example

AnsiNote (ANSI (32) . ANSI (1) . ANSI (43) . 
         "This is bold green text on a yellow background");

Python example

world.AnsiNote (world.ANSI (32) + world.ANSI (1) + world.ANSI (43) + 
"This is bold green text on a yellow background")

Lua example

AnsiNote (ANSI (32, 1, 43),
          "This is bold green text on a yellow background")

Lua notes
