Different Colored Words in FORTRAN Output?

[gmcke1]

Hello all FORTRAN geeks and geekettes,

I was wondering if there is a way to get different colors for each word in a print/write statement?

For example:
WRITE(*,*)'This is my test sentence'

Can I get each word in this write statement to appear as a different color in the terminal window?

Thanks a bunch :D

The easy way to do this is find a subroutine library that works with your terminal window and operating system, and use that. For example the "curses" library (in C not Fortran) has commands like these: http://www.mkssoftware.com/docs/man3/curs_color.3.asp

The hard way is to understand the information in something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code (those codes will probably work on most "text" terminal windows) and write the codes directly to the terminal output.
