ANSI Color Codes in VIM

ansi-colors, ansi-escape, color-codes, vim

Solution

Use Charles Campbell's (Dr Chip) AnsiEsc plugin:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=302

Before:

`:AnsiEsc<CR>`

Problem

I have a script that generates a log file with ANSI color codes in them like so: ``` [2012-05-14 18:00:02] ^[[0mINF: -- Starting update script --^[[0m [2012-05-14 18:00:29] ^[[91mERR: Improper date, entry being ignored.^[[0m ``` Is there any way to get Vim to understand these color codes? Thanks for any help.
