How to modify the cat command to highlight a chosen word?
Hi,
I'm fairly new to programming and was just wondering... Is it possible to modify the cat command (using a linux virtual machine) so that it displays text of a file
and highlights a specifically chosen word? I've been looking for how to do it on the internet and can't find any helpful suggestions...
Thanks.
