I want to make some printf’s to the windows console from my C program but want to make some of them different colours.
Anyone know if this can be done easily?
EDIT: Windows XP is my OS

SetConsoleTextAttribute()will let you set the color of subsequent text output.You’ll probably want to look at the complete set of Win32 console APIs to be able to get/set/restore and otherwise manipulate the console.
