highlight CLI application

2017-07-01

I created a command line application for highlighting parts of a file that match a given regex.

Imagine the following file file-cats exists:

nonhighlighted file \

The highlight command can be used to highlight the regex cat:

simple highlighted file \

When highlighting matches from multiple files, the filenames will be colored and striped:

multiple highlighted files \

There is also an additional command hrep that acts exactly like grep but highlights and stripes filenames:
