Color ouput with Swift command line tool

Question

I\'m writing a command line tool with Swift and I\'m having trouble displaying colors in my shell. I\'m using the following code:

println(\"\\033[31;32mhey\\033         


        

Answer 1

Here is my solution:

struct Colors {
    static let reset = "\u{001B}[0;0m"
    static let black = "\u{001B}[0;30m"
    static let red = "\u{001B}[0;31m"
    static let green = "\u{001B}[0;32m"
    static let yellow = "\u{001B}[0;33m"
    static let blue = "\u{001B}[0;34m"
    static let magenta = "\u{001B}[0;35m"
    static let cyan = "\u{001B}[0;36m"
    static let white = "\u{001B}[0;37m"
}

Demo

print(Colors.yellow + "Please Enter the Output Directory Name:" + Colors.reset)

or

print(Colors.yellow + "Please " + Colors.blue + "Enter " + Colors.magenta + "the Output Directory Name:" + Colors.reset)
