Windows batch: Can't echo ASCII art with ._|_
(2 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I'm pretty new to Batch and I wanted to print something without the hassle of echoing everything, and even when I tried using echo it didn't work. There is probably a simple answer but please help.
What I Wanted To Print:

You can use echo, but you will need to either double quote the lines because of special characters involved, or escape each special character. You can then use type to achieve that, as demonstrated in #Squashman's comment.
If however you have a Windows 10 OS (or Windows 11) you can make it
a little more fun using ANSI escape codes.
Here's an example, it does not look like much now, but simply save it ,as is, to a file with a .cmd extension and run it:
#echo off
for /F %%i in ('echo prompt $E ^| cmd') do set "e=%%i"
mode con cols=100 lines=40

If, for some inexplicable reason, you don't want to save it to another file, you could just include it within the script itself:

I would like to print a MOTD using styled text when an user connects to the server (ubuntu 18.04) using SSH.
The only way I found is to print the file by myself because Ubuntu originally only cats the motd file.
So now, I have a colord motd file but I don't found any way to print out the contents with the style.
I found this command on stackoverflow:
cat /home/user/conf/bash/motd | sed 's/$/\\n/' | sed 's/ /\\a /g'
But this is not working propertly with large ASCII text.
here is the current test motd file

I would use variable in my file but It's seems that parsing variable implies parsing other things so it's not compatible with the banner that is ASCII only.
So I exported the banner to another file and now, I am able to print color and the banner.
Here is the SH sample
RED="\e[31m"
BANNER=$(<banner.txt)
printf "$(eval "echo \"$(<myfile.txt)\"")"
banner.txt

I am now looking for a prettier solution.
I'm running the following piece of bash code:
cat << END_TEXT
_ _
| | | |
__ _| |__ ___ __| |
/ _` | '_ \ / __/ _` |
| (_| | |_) | (_| (_| |
\__,_|_.__/ \___\__,_|
END_TEXT
and am getting an error:
bash: command substitution: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `|'
bash: command substitution: line 1: ` | '_ \ / __/ _'
No need to escape backticks. Just use quoted here-doc string as:
cat <<-'END_TEXT'
_ _
| | | |
__ _| |__ ___ __| |
/ _` | '_ \ / __/ _` |
| (_| | |_) | (_| (_| |
\__,_|_.__/ \___\__,_|
END_TEXT
As per man bash:
If word is unquoted, all lines of the here-document are subjected to parameter expansion, command substitution, and arithmetic expansion, the character sequence \<newline> is ignored, and \ must be used to quote the characters \, $, and `.
It's the backticks. Most content in a here-document is not intrepreted and used as-is, but backticks change this.
The solution: Escape them, even though it messes up the layout of your script:
cat << END_TEXT
_ _
| | | |
__ _| |__ ___ __| |
/ _\` | '_ \ / __/ _\` |
| (_| | |_) | (_| (_| |
\__,_|_.__/ \___\__,_|
END_TEXT
Were using serenity-bdd, and log analysis is important. But there is a lot of spam in the logging:
Serenety uses a lot of asci art in there logging witch is in my case waste of space and giving a lot of noice:
end2endtests | _____ _____ ____ _____ ____ _____ _ ____ _____ _____ ____
end2endtests | |_ _| ____/ ___|_ _| / ___|_ _|/ \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \
end2endtests | | | | _| \___ \ | | \___ \ | | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | | | |
end2endtests | | | | |___ ___) || | ___) || |/ ___ \| _ < | | | |___| |_| |
end2endtests | |_| |_____|____/ |_| |____/ |_/_/ \_\_| \_\|_| |_____|____/
end2endtests |
end2endtests |
And then on the end we get:
end2endtests | __ _____ _____ ____ _____ ____ _ ____ ____ _____ ____
end2endtests | _ \ \ |_ _| ____/ ___|_ _| | _ \ / \ / ___|/ ___|| ____| _ \
end2endtests | (_)_____| | | | | _| \___ \ | | | |_) / _ \ \___ \\___ \| _| | | | |
end2endtests | _|_____| | | | | |___ ___) || | | __/ ___ \ ___) |___) | |___| |_| |
end2endtests | (_) | | |_| |_____|____/ |_| |_| /_/ \_\____/|____/|_____|____/
end2endtests | /_/
end2endtests |
end2endtests | TEST PASSED
We do this in our Jenkins server trough a Maven command, I realy would like to reduce this noice so we have a bit less logging and sutch. I been googeling for it but havent found a clear cut answer that gave me the insight.
You need to pass -Dserenity.console.headings=minimal or -Dserenity.console.headings=normal in command line.
Or use
System.SetProperty("serenity.console.headings", "normal");
See below for more details
http://thucydides.info/docs/serenity-staging/
You can use below properties in serenity.properties file to turn off logging in reporting. (Serenity model/core version: 2.2.5)
serenity.console.headings=none to turn off the TEST STARTED banner and serenity.console.banner=none to turn off the SERENITY BDD banner.

I'm trying to use an ascii art string that I made with artii in a ruby program. The string can be generated using the cli as expected:
However when I try to save it as a string and either puts, p, or print it, it doesn't work. I thought it might be because the slashes need to be escaped which I've tried to do, but it looks like I'm not gsubing correctly either. How would I go about going from a working string on the cli to a working string in a ruby program that's printing the string to stdout?
banner = "
_____ _ _ _ _
| __ \ | | | \ | | | |
| |__) | _| |__ _ _ | \| | ___ | |_ ___
| _ / | | | '_ \| | | | | . ` |/ _ \| __/ _ \
| | \ \ |_| | |_) | |_| | | |\ | (_) | |_ __/
|_| \_\__,_|_.__/ \__, | |_| \_|\___/ \__\___|
__/ |
|___/
"
print banner
print banner.gsub(/\\/, "\\\\")
puts "One slash: \\"
puts "Two slashes: \\\\"
You can also use a heredoc that disables interpolation and escaping:
puts <<-'EOF'
_____ _ _ _ _
| __ \ | | | \ | | | |
| |__) | _| |__ _ _ | \| | ___ | |_ ___
| _ / | | | '_ \| | | | | . ` |/ _ \| __/ _ \
| | \ \ |_| | |_) | |_| | | |\ | (_) | |_ __/
|_| \_\__,_|_.__/ \__, | |_| \_|\___/ \__\___|
__/ |
|___/
EOF
You can't gsub backslashes because they're not there: you're trying to unspill the milk. The syntax "foo\ bar" will produce the string "foo bar", exactly like if the backslash wasn't there. It's not that the backslash is not displaying - it is never in the string in the first place, so there is nothing to gsub. You have basically two solutions: either double the backslashes in your literal by hand or by editor replacement ("foo\\ bar") before your program executes:
artii 'Ruby Note' | sed 's/\\/\\\\/g'
or read the string in from somewhere so it is not interpreted by Ruby syntax:
banner = File.read(DATA)
puts banner
__END__
_____ _ _ _ _
| __ \ | | | \ | | | |
| |__) | _| |__ _ _ | \| | ___ | |_ ___
| _ / | | | '_ \| | | | | . ` |/ _ \| __/ _ \
| | \ \ |_| | |_) | |_| | | |\ | (_) | |_ __/
|_| \_\__,_|_.__/ \__, | |_| \_|\___/ \__\___|
__/ |
|___/
will display what you want.
I know that I can initialize artii on the cmd with:
artii "word"
And WORD appears, but I cant find how to do this directly from a .rb file.
Artii::Base#asciify returns a formatted string:
require 'artii'
a = Artii::Base.new
a.asciify('word')
#=> " _ \n | |\n __ _____ _ __ __| |\n \\ \\ /\\ / / _ \\| '__/ _` |\n \\ V V / (_) | | | (_| |\n \\_/\\_/ \\___/|_| \\__,_|\n \n "
You have to print it in order to see the formatting:
puts a.asciify('word')
Output:
_
| |
__ _____ _ __ __| |
\ \ /\ / / _ \| '__/ _` |
\ V V / (_) | | | (_| |
\_/\_/ \___/|_| \__,_|
