apolopena

The Need

• You need a raw dump of lolcat colorized output that includes the ANSI escape sequences for the colors.
• You need this dump saved to a file.

The Solution

Pipe your output through lolcat, use the --force flag and then redirect the output to a file.

Examples

1. Capture a raw dump of the output of a bash script piped through lolcat to the file colors.txt

• bash my-script.sh | lolcat --force > colors.txt
