Thanks so much for this great update. While trying out the new Device Monitor features I saw mention of the ANSI library to control the colour of output. I currently use the following monitor filters;

monitor_filters = 
	time
	log2file

Is there a way in PIO/VSC to then view the resulting log file and have it render the ANSI in the log file rather than show it as

15:03:06.102 > e[2Je[He[30mforegrounde[0me[40mbackground
15:03:06.103 > e[0me[31mforegrounde[0me[41mbackground
15:03:06.103 > e[0me[32mforegrounde[0me[42mbackground
15:03:06.104 > e[0me[33mforegrounde[0me[43mbackground
15:03:06.104 > e[0me[34mforegrounde[0me[44mbackground
15:03:06.105 > e[0me[35mforegrounde[0me[45mbackground

Thanks,
PJ

The colour rendering works fine in the Device Monitor, its just the log file I’m asking about.
Thanks

Yes, you create your own filter and do whatever you want. See example pio device monitor — PlatformIO latest documentation

Also, this small helper can be used to remove ANSI codes

              tokens = []
              for multiplier in (3600000, 60000, 1000, 1):
                  fraction = math.floor(duration / multiplier)
                  tokens.append(int(round(duration) if multiplier == 1 else fraction))
                  duration -= fraction * multiplier
              return "{:02d}:{:02d}:{:02d}.{:03d}".format(*tokens)
