This will work in korn shell:
print "\033[01;34m Hello \033[00m"

The \033 stands for the escape character, followed by "[01;34" (like saying turn on color, number 34, in a simple way).

To turn it off, I used "\033[00m".

You can even mix them up in one line:

Code:

print "\033[01;34m This \033[00m\033[01;25mthat \033[00mthere"

Interesting, is there a man page or some other place that you know of that I can read about that more in depth.

Thanks.

Very cool,

Is there any place I can get the color codes for different colors?
