Thread: Coloring text

is there a way to display colored text in the screen

and how to do it


thank you,

Yes, in most systems it is possible.

Unfortunately, there is no generic way to do this with Standard C. Various OS's and compilers have their solutions, and there are some generic libraries, such as ncurses or pdcurses that may do something like this - but that's a bit like buying a 211 piece toolkit, because you need a PZ1 screwdriver.

I didn't say it was hard. But since the original post doesn't even say if it's Windows, Linux, Solaris, VAX/VMS, a small company proprietary OS. So explaining how to do it in ONE OS, when there are possibly hundreds of others that it possibly could be (ok, so it's UNLIKELY that it is something other than Windows or Linux, but...)
