can I make this echo part of script in BOLD, UNDERLINE and give some color to this ?????
As I wrote in Chapter 14 of my book, Pro Bash Programming:
"Traditionally, screen manipulation is done through the termcap or terminfo database that supplies the information necessary to manipulate any of dozens or even hundreds of types of terminal. The shell interface to the database is an external command, tput.
On some systems, tput uses the termcap database; on others (mostly newer systems) it uses the terminfo database. The commands for the two databases are not the same, so a tput command written for one system may not work on another.
On one system, the command to place the cursor at the 20th column on the 10th row is:
On another system, the command is:
These commands will produce the correct output for whatever type of terminal is specified in the TERM variable. (Note: tput starts counting at 0.)
However, the plethora of terminal types has, for all intents and purposes, been reduced to a single, standard type. This standard, ISO 6429 (also known as ECMA-48, and formerly known as ANSI X3.64 or VT100), is ubiquitous, and terminals that do not support it are few and far between. As a result, it is now feasible to code for a single terminal type. One advantage of this homogeneity is that the necessary coding can be done entirely within the shell. There's no need for an external command."
