Daniels Colorize.pl is a short script that reads from stdin and writes to stdout. Rows that match a user's search strings will be colorized with user-defined colors. Command line options are available. Colorization is done via ANSI escape codes.
Use any kind of stdin text stream and it will send it on stdout colorized.
e.g.: ls -lF | colorize.pl [options]
colorize.pl will print out every line from stdin to stdout. However rows with matching strings, will be colorized with your choice of color.
