Colorize tail output

Question

I\'ve been trying to make tail a little more readable for server startups. My current command filters out most of the INFO and DEBUG messages from the startup:

I wrote TxtStyle, a small utility for colorising logs. You define regular expressions to highlight in ~/.txts.conf file:

[Style="example"]
!red: regex("error")
green: regex("\d{4}-\d\d-\d\d")
# ...

And then apply the styles:

txts -n example example.log

or you can also pipe the output

tail -f example.log | txts -n example
