Here's how:



echo -e "text 033[1mbold033[0m text"


See "Colorizing" Scripts tutorial.



It's not possible to do for cat that way. cat will merely print the characters of the file onto standard out. The closest thing I can come up with is the following:



If you put text 033[1mbold033[0m text you can do



echo -e `cat test.txt`
