Terminal Emulation Help!!

Jayaraghavendran · 08-26-2006, 05:56 AM

Hi,

I need a parser to parse the esc sequences obtained from the server during terminal emulation.

I am writing an application similar to that of PUTTY.

Each character typed is echoed to the server. In case of VT100 and ANSI terminals I am receiving different sequences interspersed with ESC sequences. I need a parser/state machine to parse the same.

Please Help!!

Thanks in Advance!

Regards,

I LOVE this quote from http://vt100.net/emu/

Code:

Here are some materials which will hopefully dissuade you from wanting to write a terminal emulator. Aren’t there enough poor ones in the world already?
