note Happy-the-monk <i><blockquote><p>red color in a text file</p></blockquote></i> <p>Colour as in coloured text is some kind of <i>formatting</i>.</p> <p>Text files are understood as to contain text, but no such formatting.</p> <p>So the answer is you don't. In order to colour text, you need an output format that can colour text like some <i>rich text format</i> or <i>html</i>. Do you have something in mind already?</p> <p>Cheers, S&ouml;ren</p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-146055"> <p><small>(hooked on the Perl Programming language)</small></p> </div></div> 1040086 1040086
