cdict

Linux shell script to colorize dict program output and pipe to the less pager.

Introduction

dict is a handy command-line dictionary program. However, it does not natively support colored output and paged display (e.g., using less or more). This tiny script colorizes the output from dict to make its output more readable, marking the queried word, its pronounciation, and list of explanations using different colors. It also pipes the dict output to a pager to facilitate browsing of the dictionary entry.

Usage

Same as dict. Use man dict command to browse manual for dict.
