Hey guys,

This works...

Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [ $clr="r" ]; then 
    echo -e '\E[1;31m'
    fi

Notes:
Removed surrounding spaces around the '=' (doesn't like extra spaces)
Removed extra space after closing square bracket (not major)
Changed escape character at beginning of string to '\E' (can't remember the difference)
Used single quotes for the string (apparently recommended but optional)
Added 'fi' to terminate the 'if' command (compulsory)

A.

Color::Calc::WWW(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     Color::Calc::WWW(3pm)

NAME
Color::Calc::WWW - Simple calculations with colors for the WWW. SYNOPSIS
use Color::Calc::WWW; my $background = 'green'; print 'background: ', color($background),';'; print 'border-top: solid 1px ', color_light($background),';'; print 'border-bottom: solid 1px ', color_dark($background),';'; print 'color: ', color_contrast_bw($background),';'; DESCRIPTION
The "Color::Calc::WWW" module implements simple calculations with RGB colors for the World Wide Web. This can be used to create a full color scheme from a few colors. This module is nearly identical to using the following: use Color::Calc('ColorScheme' => 'WWW', 'OutputFormat' => 'html'); However, this module also makes the functions available when not imported: use Color::Calc::WWW(); # don't import Color::Calc::WWW::color('F00'); USAGE
By default, all functions are imported. All functions recognize all HTML color keywords (through Graphics::ColorNames::WWW) and output the results in WWW-compatible formats, i.e. as one of the 16 basic HTML keywords (see Graphics::ColorNames::WWW) or as #RRGGBB. color, color_mix, ... See L<Color::Calc> for a list of available calculation functions. NOTE
