***BOGO*** Re: [Mingw-users] ANSI escape sequences problem

[Bengt Werstén <Bengt.Wersten@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Perfect, Thanks a million man. Now it works just they way I want it. To sum up what was required to be able to use ascii escape sequences in MinGW as both input and output to create a custom way of reading user input without buffering:

* Use rxvt instead of bash.
* Disbale local echo in rxvt before application start with:
	stty raw -echo
* Disable stdin buffering and enter binary mode:
	setvbuf(stdin, NULL, _IONBF, 0);
   	_setmode(_fileno(stdin), _O_BINARY);
* Use fgetc to read separate characters.

Yet again, thanks for all help. 

Best regards,
Bengt Werstén

Pressing the third key will get both the second and the third key read by getc.

Hmm, that sounds like the C runtime is operating in textmode on that fd,
where it has to scan for the CR/LF sequence to convert to LF.  You
should make sure the fd is in binary mode, e.g. by _setmode (fd,
_O_BINARY).
