Hi,
Is it possible to added text color in echo commands in a batch file. Can you give me url or commands to do so.

Hi first you need ANSI.SYS in your config.sys like DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS Then you can make a text call bluescrn.txt in it put ESC[0;37;44M If you now use the type command as follows type bluescrn your screen should be set to write in white on blue background.you may have to do a cls toget it all blue. the 0 sets the attributes to none,the 37 sets the foreground to white and the 44 sets blue as background color. if you put type bluescrn in a batch file it will do the color for you. forgrd color (30)black (31)red (32)green (33)yellow (34)blue (35)magenta (36)cyan (37)white and for backgrd in same oder 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47. I hope this helps

Here is another method. You would need to download "Dos Colors", either the exe or the batch file version. This version is not as capable as the ansi.sys method mentioned above because ansi.sys will allow you to color individual characters, But I think this is a bit easier to use. You would just have to set the colors by whole lines.
