          You need to put the actual escape code in the file. One way to do this would be:



          echo -e "33[31mException log" > file.txt


          Then less -R file.txt should be able to interpret the color code.

            These characters are not a colour code sequence, but they are the sequence to tell some tools/programming-languages to create the desired character sequence.



            e.g.



            echo -e "33[31mException log"

                              How to label and detect the document text images

                              Image
                              1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...

Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta.
