Thread: I need help with pv cursor control

by default, pv uses carriage return no linefeed status display. collect stats output adding linefeed , redirecting file. pv has cursor control option, cannot recognize escape sequence.


why doesn't code capture stats foo.txt?

code:

pv a.mkv 2> foo.txt | mplayer -msglevel all=1 -

here "no such file or directory" error using escape code:

code:

pv -r -c '\033[1b' a.mkv | mplayer -msglevel all=1 -

it's in manual page. want use -f option:

code:

pv -f a.mkv 2> foo.txt | mplayer -msglevel all=1 -

here "no such file or directory" error using escape code:

code:

pv -r -c '\033[1b' a.mkv | mplayer -msglevel all=1 -

the -c option doesn't take argument, thinks '\033[b' file name. want achieve here?
