Hi,
I saw some people's vi editor show different colors on the text according the nature of text when using it.
It would be nice if I can see diffrerent colors with my vi editor.
Do anybody know how to set it up?
I use PowerTermPro program to access unix machine.
I tried to use vim editor but still not showing different color.
Thanks in advance.
When using vim, you may need to add "syntax on" (or "syn on") in your $HOME/.vimrc file
to enable syntax coloring.
I just went to other people's home directory and copied the .vimrc file into my home directory and it worked!!
Thank you so much!
no problem at all, another thing I like is a color 'ls' command.
you can just alias your current ls command with 'ls --color=auto' in your .bashrc (for bash) or .cshrc for (csh) depending on what shell your using.
What would it be for a Solaris v8 ksh?
you mean to display the text in different color.
It would be not present.
Dear all,
For changing the color.
You can use
echo '\033[1;31m' - red font color (31m to 39m)
echo '\033[1;41m' - background color(41m to 49).
check the same.
