ansifilter<\/a> is an open source tool which can convert ssh session logs (with putty) with ansi escape codes into html with colors.<\/p>\n

First, putty should be configured with “all session output”, see figure below. Next, the log file should contain some ANSI escape codes<\/a>. For creating colors with the help of awk script, please see another blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"putty-config01\"<\/p>\n

The log file<\/strong><\/p>\n

The text below is how the log file looks like. It contains the printout from the mount command.<\/p>\n

\"putty-logfile\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Minor issue: background color<\/strong><\/p>\n

I haven’t found a good way to get black background when using the GUI tool. With the command line tool, it is possible to use stylesheet to set the background color.<\/p>\n

When using GUI<\/u><\/p>\n

After saving the output into html, then one can modify the HTML <body> tag to get the background color, please see below:<\/p>\n

<body style=”color:white;background-color:black”><\/p>\n

When using CLI<\/u><\/p>\n

First create a stylesheet.css file with the following content<\/p>\n

body {
\nbackground-color: #050505;
\ncolor: #808080;
\n}<\/p>\n

Then execute the ansifilter command. If the log file is “mount.log” and output is mount.html, then command looks like this:<\/p>\n

ansifilter.exe -H -i mount.log -o mount.html -r stylesheet.css<\/p>\n

Please note that, the html output is now referring to that stylesheet as it add the following line to the html:<\/p>\n

<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text\/css” href=”stylesheet.css”><\/p>\n

\nHTML output<\/strong><\/p>\n

And the result is here below. Please compare it to the screenshot<\/a> in the other blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
