How to escape?

[jbanaszczyk]

Hello. A small trouble.

I want to show something in color.
Like that

*Set title=something
*Echo --( %@If[%_ansi==1,^e[1;33m,]%[title]%@If[%_ansi==1,^e[0m,] )--

It works fine, doesn't matter if ANSI is enabled or not.

Now let's replace brackets ( ) -> [ ]

*Set title=something
*Echo --[ %@If[%_ansi==1,^e[1;33m,]%[title]%@If[%_ansi==1,^e[0m,] ]--

Last, closing brace ']' is interpreted as closing bracket of %@If[ ]
Of course, I can use extra variables, containing values of %@If[]'s.

How should it be written in one working line?

Just escape the '[' characters in the ANSI sequences.

v:\> set title=foo

v:\> Echo --[ %@If[%_ansi==1,^e^[1;32m,]%[title]%@If[%_ansi==1,^e^[0m,] ]--
--[ foo ]--

So simple. Thanks.
