Hello,
I'm frequently working with embedded Linux (via Putty). And my colleagues send me often a log from Putty (putty.log). As it is actually a Linux console, there are often many escape sequences like: \033[1;31m and more. I'd like to see these escape sequences translated to colours etc.
Maybe it's not a good idea to have it in the core application (to have a choice to edit them directly), but simply make a plugin. (And maybe it will than work for older versions too.)
I think, that there are many libraries to support the VT100, xterm and similar console emulation.
Guys what do you think about it?
P.S.: I cannot do it alone (and maybe its also too complicated for one person), but if someone can start it I can cooperate. I have never made a plugin to Notepad++, but I have a good know-how in C/C++. And less good know-how of STL.
Best Regards,
Mike
I'm interested to learn whether there is a solution to the request. I'd like to use Notepad++ for PuTTY log as well.
Thank you for an answer.
