Re: Changing colouring through a line of text

[Bipul kumar]

*if u want to colorize lots of already existing output ( not generating ..
) i suggest g/awk*
Based on my understanding, it seems that the issue you've presented
regarding text coloring can be addressed using higher-level programming
languages that are not limited to bash or awk, and this is my perception of
the matter.
