I'm running a batch file for building my software application. Basically it gets the latest sources, builds the project files, copies some files here and there, runs some custom tools and finally creates an installer using Installshield. For all the above actions I'm logging into a file as well. However I'm looking for something to add a little bit of customization (i.e. to have some colors for the logging messages that appears on the command prompt)
I tried to learn about adding colors on command line using this script
@ECHO OFF
:COLORCHANGER
cls
echo --------------------------------------------
echo Background Text
echo --------------------------------------------
echo 0=Black A=Bright Green
echo 1=Deep Blue B=Bright Blue
echo 2=Dark Green C=Light Red
echo 3=Blue D=Light Purple
echo 4=Dark Red E=Light Yellow
echo 5=Purple F=Bright White
echo 6=Dark Yellow
echo 7=White
echo 8=Grey
echo 9=Deep Blue
echo --------------------------------------------
set /p col=Color code:
Color %col%
if not ERRORLEVEL 0 goto :showerror
echo "Hello DOS"
@ECHO Press any key to revert
set /p col=Color code:
Color %col%
if not ERRORLEVEL 0 goto :showerror
echo "Hello DOS"
goto :exit
:showerror
@ECHO Cannot set color
goto :exit
:exit
@ECHO Press any key to exit
@PAUSE
But this just changes the entire foreground/background color. I want something like this. Different colors for different line How do I achieve such a customization?
