changing the color of some partcular line or part in console program

Hi

If I include the call function system("color 1a") changes the console's background color and text color. But I was the bold part to appear in different color, let's say, green? How do I change the color of some particular line or part in the program? I'm using Windows XP so you can tell me something Windows specific; it will do the job. Thanks your help and time. And please don't forget I'm a newbie to programming.

Code:

// program to calculate area of a circle

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

using namespace std;

int main()

{
    system("color 1a")
    float R, A, C;
    cout << "Enter the radius R = ";
    cin >> R;
    A = 3.142*R*R;
    C = 2*3.142*R;
    if (R >= 0)
       {
       
       cout << "Area = " << A << endl;
       cout << "Circumference = " << C << endl;
       
       }
    else
        cout << "Invalid R" << endl;
    system ("PAUSE");
}

Work your way through until you get to the colours.

Thanks, Salem. It's a good link. I'm reading. I'm sure I would have some questions to you so be there to help me, please!

OR, you can try NCURSES library: ncurses - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As you use Windows, you will need PDCURSES: PDCurses for Windows
I like it very much, and if you want to know why, take a look at some apps using Ncurses: PDCurses for Windows

If you need help with it, read its documentation: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/doc...ming-HOWTO.pdf

For your task, the code would be very simple too...
Enjoy!
