I am programming C in linux and i just need a quick and dirty way to make
some text stand out. I would like to change the color maybe to red. I want
to print out something like
printf("Blah: This is my message.");
Blah: This is my message.
I would like blah to be red.
if not red than maybe bold or some way for it to stand out.
thanks 6 1932

Standard C does not even require that stdout be connected to a video
display device, so it has absolutely no support at all for formatting
the text in any way.
There are platform-specific extensions for just about all platforms
that support this, but these are not part of the language and are not
discussed here.
For Linux, you need to ask about the extensions available to you in
the group news:comp.os.linux.development.apps, where the Linux experts
hang out.
Good luck.

What?
The substring "color+30" doesn't expand to the value of the expression
in a string literal. Even if the code were correct, it would be
non-portable; there is no portable way to make text stand out (OTHER
THAN TRICKS LIKE THIS).

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.
ansi protocols do work under linux and unix
instead of color use BLACK or RED
BLACK+30 and so forth...
you can use ncurses if you wish

This may come as a shock to you, but Linux and Unix are not the whole
world. C is even available for applications that don't use visual output
at all, and thus have no concept of "colour". If you want to give Unix-
specific advice, there's always comp.unix.programmer.
