Linux shell script to colorize dict
program output and pipe to the less
pager.
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.
Same as dict
.
Use man dict
command to browse manual for dict
.
