How to give different font colors in bat file

[dukdpk]

Hi All

I want to give different font colours for some of the texts in bat file. Please look at the following bat file.

@echo off

echo List of Reports
echo Staff List
echo Responsible Works

pause


I want to give red colour for "List of Report" text and green colour for both "Staff List" and "Responsible Works" texts. Please advice me how to do it.

Thank You

@!k Ansi.sys is to complex

Try this simple pure batch solution

Code: Select all

@echo off
SETLOCAL DisableDelayedExpansion
for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=#" %%a in ('"prompt #$H#$E# & echo on & for %%b in (1) do rem"') do (
  set "DEL=%%a"
)


call :ColorText 0C "List of Reports"
call :ColorText 0a "Staff List"
call :ColorText 0b "Responsible Works"
goto :eof

:ColorText
echo off
<nul set /p .=. > "%~2"
findstr /v /a:%1 /R "^$" "%~2" nul
echo(%DEL%%DEL%%DEL%
del "%~2" > nul 2>&1
goto :eof

Output
List of Reports
Staff List
Responsible Works


hope it helps

I've always been confused by ANSI too
