Color awk output on commandline

awkcolorcommand-line-interface

When i process a logfile in awk, is there a possibility to colorize the output on commandline?

Best Answer

I think the only way is to use ANSI color codes:

{ print "Name: \033[1;31m" $2 "\033[0m" }

Like Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams said, it's probably going to stderr. As well, there's an awk trick that will make your life easier: $NF, which is the last field. Thus, I would do something like this:

java -jar jmxclient.jar usr:pass host:port java.lang:type=Threading ThreadCount 2>&1 | awk -F: '{print $NF}'
