Add color codes to parts that are not colored to simplify parsing about lscolors HOT 6 CLOSED

The LS_COLORS key no sets the color of normal files, so if you set it to something, not_colored_file will also be colored.

Are you parsing the output of the lscolors binary? It's probably better to use the library crate itself.

from lscolors.

@tavianator I'll try setting "no"

I'm using the binary from a bash script.

from lscolors.

@tavianator it sems that neither NORMAL nor FILE are handled

Here's an example where I changed both:

ls will show a file not matching a pattern in the right color but lscolors doesn't seem to. In the example below INSTALL is colored but file isn't.

from lscolors.

Right, I mixed up no (normal, non-file text) and fi (regular files). But fi seems to work for me:

Can you paste your whole LS_COLORS variable?

from lscolors.

@tavianator an update to a newer version fixed it.

Note that fi needs to be set to 40 for lscolors to output color codes, setting it to 0 doesn't output color code 0.

from lscolors.

Right, 0 is treated basically the same as unset for most things
