My batch script is not working. I want it to echo words in a different color every second, and I’m using Ansii escape codes for the colors. In the end, I came up with this piece of code:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
chcp 65001

REM Define ANSI escape codes
SET "ESC="

REM Set initial values for color variables
set /a col1=0
set /a col2=0
set /a col3=0

REM Loop through a range of iterations
for /L %%i in (1,1,25000) do (
    REM Print text with current color settings
    echo %ESC%[38;2;!col1!;!col2!;!col3!m"█▓▒▒░░░Text Editor░░░▒▒▓█"
    
    REM Pause
    timeout /t 1 /nobreak > nul
    
    REM Increment color variables
    if !col1! LSS 255 (
        set /a col1+=1
    ) else (
        if !col2! LSS 255 (
            set /a col2+=1
        ) else (
            if !col3! LSS 255 (
                set /a col3+=1
            ) else (
                echo No more color combinations
                pause
                exit /b
            )
        )
    )
)

I tried running it and saw the cursor move down to the next line every second, so this means its printing something, but i can’t see any words being printed to the console. Is anything wrong here?

i thought different codepages could not work with ansii escape codes, and tried that, but it did not work, then i tried with and without the delayed expansion, but it still did not work, i’m not very good at batch, so please help
