Re: can I color STDERR seperately in red

2008-07-29, 16:12(+00), Rahul:
Normally the stderr and stdout are both tied to the terminal of my tcshell.
Is it possible to tweak the shell so that all STDERR output is colored
distinctively, say in red?

You could do something like:

expect -c '
log_user 0
spawn -noecho -pty
set a $spawn_id
spawn -noecho sh -c "ls /etc/passwd /unlikely 2>&$spawn_out(slave,fd)"
set b $spawn_id
expect {
-i $a -re {.+} {
send_user "\033\[31m$expect_out(buffer)\033\[m"
exp_continue
}
-i $b -re {.+} {
send_user $expect_out(buffer)
exp_continue
}
}'
