CLI coloring

gistfile1.rb

# super simple way of coloring console output with ruby

# we extend string so we can simply call the method of the color on string literals, like so:

"This text should be blue!".blue

# and it will output a blue text string!

class String
	# colorization
	def colorize(text, color_code)
	  "\e[#{color_code}m#{text}\e[0m"
	end

	def red
		colorize(self, 31)
	end
	def green
		colorize(self, 32)
	end
	def yellow
		colorize(self, 33)
	end
	def pink
		colorize(self, 35)
	end
end

now realize that blue was not part of this example... But you probably get the point eh?
Also check out the colorizer gem.
