Dec 7, 2016 at 14:07 comment added Alfie Goodacre @ais523 thanks, that answers it because I use chrome - I didn't end up needing it for my answer but I might for languages that come before it's actually valid
Dec 7, 2016 at 14:03 comment added user62131 @AlfieGoodacre An ESC character is just a character like any other; the main problem is that it's hard to type, as pressing ESC normally doesn't work. If you can get one from somewhere (such as my try-it-online links above, or by writing a program to output the character with code 27), you should be able to copy and paste it. However, if you're doing it in a browser, this only seems to work on Firefox; Chrome can't handle it.
Dec 7, 2016 at 13:40 comment added Alfie Goodacre @ais523 how do I use esc literals?
Dec 7, 2016 at 5:49 comment added betseg @ais523 maybe you can put ␛ to represent the 0x1B byte?
Dec 7, 2016 at 5:12 comment added mbomb007 It has to be the same interpreter that the original answer used.
Dec 6, 2016 at 22:59 comment added user62131 Err, isn't vim an interpreter for Vim? (It works in both vim and V, though.)
Dec 6, 2016 at 22:59 comment added mbomb007 Also, you can't test locally for Vim. Languages are defined by the interpreter that is used. So it's really V that we've had all this time.
Dec 6, 2016 at 22:58 comment added user62131 You don't have to include the literal ESC in your own answers; I just found it to be the easiest way to write this one. (Additionally, it works fine in Firefox, and in local testing; the only thing blocking me from putting it in the post is that Chromium, which I use for SE, doesn't want to put it into the input box.)

Dec 6, 2016 at 22:55 comment added mbomb007 Seriously? You're going to make it extremely difficult for anyone else to create answers if you put in a literal ESC. We have to be able to test the code.
