Hello everyone. I want your help. I'm making a tool using python and the output that I'm displaying is colored. It has horizontal lines, blue, green, red texts.... I wanted to know if there's any way I can save the output in a text file, or pdf format. I tried redirecting the output to a text file but it separates the black and white output and the colored output. Any solution?10.0.0.0.1 192.168.1.254

A regular text file may not contain color related info. So most probably I would try to create a html document (or similar) with that python script.
But without details hard to say more.

That's very interesting. Curiosity only: Do you actually see the colored output?

I'm not sure, but would tend to agree with pan64, a text file is likely too fundamental/simple to be able to represent that. But this is why I asked my curious question.

I'd try to find a way to write it to a PDF, HTML, or other type of document/image file which can show colors. I wrote "image" with hesitation. While that may be either easier vs not to accomplish, the issue there is if you wish the output file to be edit capable at the text level, then making it an image, or subsequently making it a PDF image, then you can only edit it as a image and not text.

That makes me wonder whether you're redirecting stdout but not stderr, and the latter is where the colours are being output.

Show a simplified version of the code you're using to do this, (making sure that example still exhibits the issue you're describing).
