今天这个案例很酷，是用来控制输出的颜色的。

The Code

#!/bin/sh

# ANSI Color -- Use these variables to make output in different colors
# and formats. Color names that end with 'f' are foreground (text) colors,
# and those ending with 'b' are background colors.

initializeANSI()
{
  esc="\033" # if this doesn't work, enter an ESC directly

  blackf="${esc}[30m";   redf="${esc}[31m";    greenf="${esc}[32m"
  yellowf="${esc}[33m"   bluef="${esc}[34m";   purplef="${esc}[35m"
  cyanf="${esc}[36m";    whitef="${esc}[37m"

  blackb="${esc}[40m";   redb="${esc}[41m";    greenb="${esc}[42m"
  yellowb="${esc}[43m"   blueb="${esc}[44m";   purpleb="${esc}[45m"
  cyanb="${esc}[46m";    whiteb="${esc}[47m"

  boldon="${esc}[1m";    boldoff="${esc}[22m"
  italicson="${esc}[3m"; italicsoff="${esc}[23m"
  ulon="${esc}[4m";      uloff="${esc}[24m"
  invon="${esc}[7m";     invoff="${esc}[27m"

  reset="${esc}[0m"
}

先定义函数，接着初始化下函数，接着你就可以看到效果了。
执行
echo -e ${yellowf}This is a phrase in yellow${redb} and red${reset}

echo -e ${boldon}This is bold${ulon} this is italics${reset} bye bye

echo -e ${italicson}This is italics${italicsoff} and this is not

你了解了后以后及可以写出带颜色，很炫的脚本了
