colourise text based on string pattern

Overview

Colourize allows you to easily colourise text streams based on specified string patterns. It is designed to provide a simple yet powerful way to add custom colors to different parts of your text.

Usage

The program looks for specific strings specified after certain arguments such as --after, --from, and --reset-on and formats them with the specified color. Here's an example:

stat image.png | clr red --after ": " green --reset-on "  "

This command outputs the standard input in red. After encountering : , it formats the subsequent string in green. It then resets to red after encountering two consecutive spaces .

By default, the color definitions are read from ~/.config/colourize/preset.

Example

stat README.md | clr bright_red --after Access: 55ccff

Valid colours include hexadecimal colours and black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white, bright_black, bright_red, bright_green, and so on.

Customization

To customize color presets, you can modify the configuration file located at ~/.config/colourize/preset. This file defines the default color mappings.

Installation

Make sure you have libclr installed. Then run ./install.sh.

TODO

• fix kmp implementation
• config file support
• --match option; only colour matching string

Note: The tool is currently under development, and improvements are ongoing.
