Colourise Redirected Output

[damianpowell]

Allow redirected output to be colourised using ANSI control codes. Option is enabled by the --force-color command line switch, or by setting output.forceColor to True in SeqCli.json. Addresses issue #239.

In PowerShell, the following should produce colorised output (if your console supports it) where previously it would not:

gc logfile.clef | seqcli print --force-color | %{ $_ }

The value of the --no-color switch (or output.disableColor setting) will take precedence. If either one is specified, --force-color will be ignored.

Initially used the ANSI version of the Literate theme but it looked horrible so I switched to the Code theme.

Looks great, thanks Damian!

I might look into making the default theme AnsiConsoleTheme.Code across the board (or build an ANSI theme based on Seq's typical palette)....

You're welcome!

Yeah, the Seq palette is much more eye-friendly.
