Printing in red during output from head

[lisa-asket]

Actually I am happy with using



      find "$fdir" -type f -name "*.org" -o -name "*.texi"  \
        | xargs tail -n "$m"                                \
        | grep --color -e ^ -e '^==>.*' 



Am quite pragmatic, meaning I don't have a problem changing the original plan.

Command substitutions are not performed inside single quotes. Changing
them to double quotes may work, but you'll need to double-check
everything else in the sed program to see whether it will work as
expected inside double quotes.
