Hi,

thnx for ur reply.but what i want to know is how to use these colours implicitly. i dont want to hardcode the colours as like ^[[32m this in the script. is there any way to set this colour in a profile so that the text can be displayed in colour when the script is triggered.

Thanx in advance.

Hi,

can u give me one example for creating the profile and how can u use that in the script.

Also what i need exactly is like

for ex we have one script named test.ksh.
if i run the script it displays some lines like
aaaaaaaaaaaaa
bbbbbbbbbbbbb
ccccccccccccc
in that i want only the second line to be coloured and not all.

Pls guide me in doing this....

Download my cecho script - will show you the basics. Then it's just hardcoded in one place... chuck it in /usr/local/bin (if that's in your path) and then scripts can just call

cecho red This is in red
