bash Fedora Linux

If you wanted to have colors in the bash output (including the colors in PS1-4), don’t you keep wondering how the color code would look on the terminal. So, I wrote this small script to show the complete color codes. This is how the output would look:

$\"Bash$

And here is the script:

  <td>
    <div class="text codecolorer">
      #!/bin/bash -<br /> #===============================================================================<br /> #<br /> # &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;FILE: &nbsp;colors.sh<br /> #<br /> # &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; USAGE: &nbsp;./colors.sh<br /> #<br /> # &nbsp; DESCRIPTION: &nbsp;Bash colors<br /> #<br /> # &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; OPTIONS: &nbsp;---<br /> # &nbsp;REQUIREMENTS: &nbsp;---<br /> # &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;BUGS: &nbsp;---<br /> # &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; NOTES: &nbsp;---<br /> # &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;AUTHOR: &nbsp;Amit Agarwal (AKA), amit.agarwal@amit-agarwal.co.in<br /> # &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; COMPANY: &nbsp;Individual<br /> # &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; VERSION: &nbsp;1.0<br /> # &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; CREATED: &nbsp;09/21/2009 06:12:07 PM IST<br /> # &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;REVISION: &nbsp;---<br /> #===============================================================================<br /> <br /> for c in `seq 0 255`;<br /> do<br /> t=5;<br /> [[ $c -lt 108 ]]&&t=0;<br /> for i in `seq $t 5`;<br /> do<br /> #Display the codes also for easier lookup in terminal<br /> <!--loginview start-->echo $i;${c}<!--loginview end--><br /> echo -e "<a class="zem_slink" title="Path (computing)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_%28computing%29">\\</a>\e[0;48;$i;${c}m|| $i:$c `seq -s+0 $(($COLUMNS/2))|tr -d \'[0-9]\'`\\e[0m";<br /> done;<br /> done<br /> <br /> # setup_colors - Adds colors to array CC for global use<br /> # 30 - Black, 31 - Red, 32 - Green, 33 - Yellow, 34 - Blue,<br /> # 35 - Magenta, 36 - Blue/Green, 37 - White,<br /> # 30/42 - Black on Green \'30\\;42\'<br /> <!--loginview start-->function setup_colors(){<br /> declare -a CC;<br /> for i in `seq 0 7`;<br /> do<br /> ii=$(($i+7));<br /> CC[$i]="\\033[1;3${i}m";<br /> CC[$ii]="\\033[0;3${i}m";<br /> done;<br /> CC[15]="\\033[30;42m";<br /> R=$\'\\033[0;00m\';<br /> X=$\'\\033[1;37m\';<br /> export R X;<br /> }<br /> function display_colors(){<br /> for i in $(seq 0 $((${#CC[@]} - 1))); do echo -e "${CC[$i]}[$i]\\n$R"; done<br /> }
