 echo -e "\033[0;31mHI\033[m"

We need to add -e option with echo as it will enable interpretation of backslash escapes.


Thanks,

If you want to use portable sequences, you have to consult termcap database, what it can provide to you, using infocmp and you can use tput command to make text bold, underline and so on.
Yeah, I tried using mobaxterm and it worked SmilieSmilieSmilie. It seems that securecrt doesn't support this.

Found "xterm" in securecrt, now it's OK. Thanks guy SmilieSmilieSmilie
