Highlighting specific column in cat/grep

I have a large * delimited text file and need to highlight specific columns on specific lines. The file looks similar to this:

Code:
ABC*01*00*01*00000 000000    *00000  000000    *35*0*0*0*0*20000*0*0*1*0000*00*4*0*3*0*0*1*0*  *35*0000*001*4*1OT2*0148*0*0*0*0*0*0*6A7801B0**TEST1
ABC*02*00*01*00000 000000 000000 000000    *00000 000000     *35*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*1*0010*00*4*0*0*0*0*1*0*  *35*0000*001*4*1OR2*0148*0*0*0*0*0*0*6A7701B0**TEST2

Is there any way of highlighting a specific column, so, for example, I get this:
Code:
ABC*01*00*01*00000 000000    *00000  000000     *35*0*0*0*0*20000*0*0*1*0000*00*4*0*3*0*0*1*0*   *35*0000*001*4*1OT2*0148*0*0*0*0*0*0*6A7801B0**TEST1
ABC*02*00*01*00000 000000 000000 000000    *00000 000000      *35*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*1*0010*00*4*0*0*0*0*1*0*   *35*0000*001*4*1OR2*0148*0*0*0*0*0*0*6A7701B0**TEST2

Unfortunately the values may be different, so I can't use egrep --color, or, the value may occur more than one in the line - eg one of the 0's.

Thanks in advance

INDEXMAKER(1)							       mrtg							     INDEXMAKER(1)

NAME
indexmaker - Creates index files for mrtg web sites (mrtg-2.9.17) SYNOPSIS
indexmaker [options] regexp mrtg.cfg [other.cfg ...] OPTIONS
--output=filename set output filename (default: stdout) --filter title=~regexp select targets by matching regexp against titles --filter pagetop=~regexp select targets by matching regexp against pagetop --filter name=~regexp select targets by matchin regexp against name --title=text set title of generated index file --bodyopt=text set body tag options --pagetop=text insert this text between <BODY> and <H1>...</H1> --columns=number show graphs in a table with x columns (default: 2) --sort=title sort graphs by title --sort=name sort graphs by their name --sort=descr sort graphs by their description --sort=original leave as is (default) --enumerate add a sequence number to the title of each graph --width=number set width of graphs (default: not set) --height=number --show=day pick which graph to show in the index (default) --show=week --show=month --show=year --show=none --section=h1 h1 tag from pagetop as section heading (default) --section=title title as section headings for graphs --section=name graph name as section heading --section=descr graph description as section heading --section=portname port name entry in pagetop as section heading --rrdviewer=path path to rrdviewer (default: /cgi-bin/14all.cgi) --prefix=path path from the location of the index.html to the graphs DESCRIPTION
Indexmaker can create web pages which display the status of an array of mrtg interface status pages. --output filename set output filename (default: stdout) --filter (title|pagetop|name)(=~|!~)regexp Several filters may get set. Each filter can match agains the contents of a specific section of the mrtg config file. Name refers to the bit in square brackets (option[name]: bla). Depending on the match operator chosen (=~ or !~) the match will be positive or negative. Note that some shells consider ! a special character. It may be necessary to type !~ instead. --title text Set title of generated index file (default: regexp) --bodyopt text The value of this argument gets appended to the <BODY> tag. This allows to set document colors. By default this option is set to bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" link="#000000" vlink="#000000" alink="#000000" --columns number Display graphs in a table with number columns (default: 2) --sort title|name|descr|original Sort the graphs in the page either by title, by name, by interface description, or leave them as is. --enumerate Add a sequence number to the title of each graph --width number Set width of graphs --height number Set the height of the graphs --show day|week|month|year|none Select which graph to show in the index page. You can supress images completely with --show=none. --section h1|title|name|description|portname Select what to use as the title for each graph in the page. h1 is the H1 section from pagetop, title is the graph title, name is the bit in square brackets (option[name]: bla), and descr or description is the text from the Description field of the PageTop (the Cisco description text if it's available, otherwise just the interface description). portname is the "Port Name:" from pagetop. --rrdviewer path If you have set the LogFormat: rrdtool property in the mrtg.cfg file, the index will take this into account. The only thing you must tell it is the path to your grapher cgi. (default: /cgi-bin/14all.cgi) --prefix path By default we assume that the file generated by indexmaker is stored in WorkDir. If you want to store it somewhere else, spec- ify how to reach WorkDir from the place where the Index is stored. Note that you have to use '/' as path separator as this will be used in urls. Speaking of which, you can even enter a whole url. AUTHOR
