Is there colorizer utility that can take command output and colorize it accordingly to pre-defined scheme? [closed]
You could use a tool like grcat/grc (where the first is the tool, and the second the front end).
grc will execute command command with optional parameters [args] piping its stdout or stderr into grcat, with apropriate configuration file.
For example
source-highlight
You may also find interesting source-highlight
released under GNU.
You can add it as alias e.g. in your .bash_aliases
with something like the line below.
alias Cat='source-highlight --out-format=esc -o STDOUT -i'
Cat myfile.c # or myfile.xml ...
Or you can do a similar alias (without the -i
at the end to have the possibility to pipe in)
alias PCat='source-highlight --out-format=esc -o STDOUT '
tail myfile.sh | PCat # Note the absence of the `-i`
