Error Assign specific Color to the outputs in script
Hi,

Im programming an interactive menu that verifies the exports of my oracle DB, and im having some trouble finding a process that outputs for example a green command line when the export terminated successfully. i have something like this

Code:
cat /variosnew/fullexports/IMAGES/full_imp_images.log | grep succesfully

What i want is, if the return is successfully then output it in green... if not red

Maybe with:

Code:
echo $?

Thanks for your help!!

That's a useless use of cat.

What exactly do you want to be colored green?

That cat command return "Export terminated successfully Without Warnings" that i want in green

The cat does nothing, the cat is completely useless there and can be thrown away. It's grep that does all the work.

Code:
LINE=`grep successfully /variosnew/fullexports/IMAGES/full_imp_images.log`

if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
        printf "\033[01;32m%s\033[00m\n" "$LINE"
else
        printf "\033[01;31m%s\033[00m\n" "'successfully' not found in log"
fi

If you are using Linux, you can
Code:
grep --color successfully /variosnew/fullexports/IMAGES/full_imp_images.log

For more colors, pls refer to Chi Hung Chan: Give Your Shell Some Colours
