How can I print a red "Hello world"

It seems that the standard c library doesn't give any support on
this. I googled this question and found that the code would not be
portable. Then how can I do this under linux ? Thanks! ^_^

You can start by asking in a Linux-specific newsgroup.

(Note that this might not be possible under Linux, depending on the
nature of the terminal or terminal emulator you're using.)

It is not a Linux specific thing it is a terminal type specific thing.
On my terminal I can use:

fputs( "\033[31mHello World!\n", stdout );

Lookup the different codes on:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/li.../l-tip-prompt/

in particular, lookup the code for how to reset it back to what might be
the "correct" colour. My PS1 (prompt) variable does this for me so I
haven't included it above.

If you want to play with this sort of thing, remember that when you screw
up your terminal, you can usually type reset[enter] to get it back, and
this usually works even if you can't see the letters coming up.

I am trying to find a prewritten method for converting a string like this:"Hello World" to this "Hello\sWorld". I plan to use it to build a regular expression. Specifically I am looking for a method that can convert not just space (\s) but also any character that needs to be escaped in a given string. Thanks, Matt

Hi, Is it possible to write a C program that prints "Hello World" on screen without having a single semi-colon in the entire program? The extra constraint here is that u r not allowed to use if,while,switch etc. So far,i figured this could be done by insertint the printf statement in main as shown: int main(int argc=printf("Hello world")

Everyone probably started with the infamous print "hello world" as their 1st program. I am looking for a site online that basically does the same for php & database communication. A site that walks you through the basic fundementals on how to setup and access a simple database so I can experiment and get a feel for it before diving in deep. Is there anyplace like this out there? Bill H
