haskell - Coloring console output in windows

Question

I was trying to find if it is possible to colour console output in windows system. I found that Console - Ansi but i cant find any information about coloring output in windows prompt.

I woudl appreciate information about my problem.

Answer 1

It's been a while, but I think the correct usage is:

setRGB [SetColor Foreground Yellow, SetColor Background Red]

to set yellow writing on a red background. Also setTitle followed by a String sets the console window title.

Answer 2

It worked for me like this:

set the foregroundcolor to Yellow

    setSGR [SetColor Foreground Vivid Yellow]

and then reset it to normal after putting your String on the screen

    putStrLn "ayellowstring"
    setSGR [Reset]

You need

    import System.Console.ANSI

to do this

Answer 3

PowerShell and the console setting will be the solution.Console only have 16 colors,but you can config any 16 colors you like(i.e. you can make gray scale console)
