I know that the color bf command sets the colors of the whole command line window but I wanted to to print one single line in a different color.
Thanks

A:
You'll need to echo an ANSI escape code sequence to alter the text colour: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code
Another very good source of these escape codes is http://ascii-table.com/ansi-escape-sequences.php

That looks really promising but how do I emit the Escape character - ASCII 27 in an echo command?

The Windows console is *no* Terminal emulator. ANSI escape sequences simply can't work. You could coax Windows 9x into doing so by loading ANSI.SYS but we're a little past that by now.

We used to do this with ANSI terminal codes. Not sure if they still work, but you could try them.

you could use cecho.. you can also use it to embed right into your script so you dont have to carry along a .com or .exe
