CLI Magic: A little script to customize directory listings

Posted by: Anonymous [ip: 84.240.48.164] on December 11, 2007 03:20 PM

I was searching all over the web for something like "|grep --color=auto", but without the grep part. No luck.

So i wrote this:

#!/bin/sh

#

while read line

do

echo -e `echo $line | sed 's/'"$1"'/\\\E[31m'"&"'\\\E[37m/g'`

done

And saved it as /usr/local/bin/clr

Try to pipe something through it :)
