如何启用包含在脚本中的 shell 命令的彩色输出？

Question

Basically, say I have a command like grep which outputs color-coded results with a flag like -r . If I were to wrap this command within a shell script, upon running the script, the output won't have the same color-coded effect.

Is there any other way of making the shell script spit out results (on terminal) in the same color-coding without resorting to using tput or manual color coding?

Answer 1

To force color output from grep :

grep --color=always

From man grep :

   --color[=WHEN], --colour[=WHEN]
          Surround   the   matched   (non-empty)   strings,
          matching lines, context lines, file  names,  line
          numbers, byte offsets, and separators (for fields
          and  groups  of  context   lines)   with   escape
          sequences   to  display  them  in  color  on  the
          terminal.   The  colors  are   defined   by   the
          environment variable GREP_COLORS.  The deprecated
          environment   variable   GREP_COLOR   is    still
          supported,   but   its   setting  does  not  have
          priority.  WHEN is never, always, or auto.

Answer 2

just use Bash functions, like, say this one:

make()
{
  pathpat="(/[^/]*)+:[0-9]+"
  ccred=$(echo -e "\033[0;31m")
  ccyellow=$(echo -e "\033[0;33m")
  ccend=$(echo -e "\033[0m")
  /usr/bin/make "$@" 2>&1 | sed -E -e "/[Ee]rror[: ]/ s%$pathpat%$ccred&$ccend%g" -e "/[Ww]arning[: ]/ s%$pathpat%$ccyellow&$ccend%g"
  return ${PIPESTATUS[0]}
}

How to turn on or off colors in bash

in BASH SHELL

Q. How do I turn on or off file name colors in bash shell?

A. Most modern Linux distro comes with alias that defines colors for your file. However ls command is responsible for displaying color on screen for files, directories and other object.

By default, color is not used to distinguish types of files. You need to pass --color option to ls command.

Task: Turn off colors

Type the following command

$ ls --color=none

Or just remove alias with unalias command:

$ unalias ls

Task: Turn on colors

Use any of the following command:

$ ls --color=auto
$ ls --color=tty

You can add or remove ls alias from ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc file.
