This is an Objective-C class for dealing with ANSI escape sequences. Its main purpose is to translate between NSStrings that contain ANSI escape sequences and similarly formatted NSAttributedStrings.
Here's a quick and simple example of how you'd most likely want to use this class:
AMR_ANSIEscapeHelper *ansiEscapeHelper =
[[[AMR_ANSIEscapeHelper alloc] init] autorelease];
// display an ANSI-escaped string in a text view:
NSString *ansiEscapedStr =
@"Let's pretend this string contains ANSI escape sequences";
NSAttributedString *attrStr = [ansiEscapeHelper
attributedStringWithANSIEscapedString:ansiEscapedStr];
[[nsTextViewInstance textStorage] setAttributedString:attrStr];
// get an ANSI-escaped string from a text view:
NSAttributedString *attrStr = [nsTextViewInstance textStorage];
NSString *ansiEscapedStr = [ansiEscapeHelper
ansiEscapedStringWithAttributedString:attrStr];
