How to print specific lines with specific colors?

#1 Post by PaperTronics » 09 Sep 2017 02:26

Hey guys!

I want to print specific lines with specific colors but without using findstr /A.

Is there any other method to print lines with colors without using findstr?



Any help is greatly appreciated,

Windows 10 supports ANSI color.

@Compo - Could you please tell me that method

@Squashman - I want the method to be supported on all platforms

@ShadowThief - I forgot to describe why. Findstr does not support poison characters even after adding carrets. Is there a way to make findstr support poison characters? Also I'm CALLing the findstr command.
