Colorizing output from shell scripts?

[OdinsDream]

I've got a simple shell script that prints out information line-by-line. Each line begins with a certain word, and I'd like to key off this word to colorize the entire line.

What's the best tool for this job? The information is coming from a command, and then being passed through an awk filter.

Don't blame me. I didn't vote for him.

I haven't tried it yet myself, but you might want to check out a perl script called colorize (oddly enough ). looks pretty cool...

If you want to colorize your "echo" Shellscript output, you might want to have a look at http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue65/padala.html.
