- Now use:
- ls -l --color=always | ./ansi2html.sh > test.html
- to get the output stored in html file with colors
- Open file in web browser and verify
- To receive output on screen and send it to html simultaneously, use tee as follows:
- ls -l --color=always | tee >(./ansi2html.sh > test.html)
-
