Windows support?

Hi, just asking: is there any chance that tp will support Windows anytime soon?

Maybe. It's been on the to-do list since Windows is someplace that would clearly benefit from a decent pager. The problem is that it either requires a major rearchitecting to use Win32::Console, or that the user have ANSI.SYS loaded. The latter would be simpler to implement, but means that it's use requires a bit of configuration from the user, which I was not sure could be replied upon.

Would Win32::Console::ANSI help?

Perhaps, I've had it bookmarked as a possibility, but haven't gotten around to trying it out. I'll see what I can do.

2.10 is on its way to mirrors now. tp itself now works on Windows, but IO::Pager::less does not at the moment, nor some of the interactive tests; in some cases they only appear to fail because more.com exits at end of file so it can be hard to tell if content

Just tried it. Great! A couple of things: Show quoted text

works, but using it in pipeline doesn't work yet: Show quoted text

> dir | tp

No such file or directory at c:\Strawberry\...\bin/tp line 94 ... Also horizontal scrolling (left/right arrow) doesn't work yet. I'm not seeing garbled output as in RT#133662 though.

I'm not sure why horizontal scrolling would fail, up and down arrows work. As a workaround you can toggle line folding As for pipes, I think you can replace line 94 of tp with the following and it should hopefully work: open(STDIN, '<', $^O =~ /MSWin/ ? 'CON' : '/dev/tty') or die $!;

That patch would work except for a problem in Term::ReadKey. Piped input on Windows awaits a remedy to this: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=133682
