This is a little script I made in bash that helps you add any style you like to a string. It's currently the first stable working version, so I'll just publish it for now. NOTE: this bash script DOES NOT have any dependencies. It currently has been tested on Termux (Android 9, no root) and Ubuntu 18.04, and they both work. If you find a bug, please create a new issue over here.
If you want to add another modifier to your string, please check manually adding color codes
Any contribution will be appreciated!
Color codes
To find more color codes, please use this table:
| Text Format | Text Color | Background Color |
|---|---|---|
| 0: normal text | 30: black | 40: black |
| 1: bold text | 31: red | 41: red |
| 2: darker text | 32: green | 42: green |
| 3: italic text | 33: yellow | 43: yellow |
| 4: underlined text | 34: blue | 44: blue |
| 35: purple/magenta | 45: purple/magenta | |
| 36: cyan | 46: cyan | |
| 37: white | 47: white |
(You can see vaniacer's table containing more color codes: vaniacer/bash_color)
Manually adding color codes:
The command was 'printf \e[44mtest':
- \e[ means that we're starting a color code
- 44 is a code that means that we're adding a blue background to the string
- m means the color code is over
- test is our string
to display all of the above correctly in a terminal without borking it, we're going to add newlines and resetting the color at the end of the string:
BEFORE: \e[44mtest
AFTER: \n\e[44mtest\n\n\e[0;37m (\n is a newline)
If I want to make it underlined, I'm going to add the '4' code before 44: \n\e[4;44mtest\n\n\e[0;37m
If I want to make it bold, I'm going to add the '1' code before '4': \n\e[1;4;44mtest\n\n\e[0;37m
