How to colorize text in windows console?

Ruby

Hi,
Is any way to highlight text in windows cmd? I have a script which
throws its output on cmd and it would be convenient to me if the text
will be colorized.

There might even be a gem or a project in the http://raa.ruby-lang.org/

Kind regards

Two real choices:

http://rubyforge.org/projects/win32console/

or

http://www.jpsoft.com/4ntdes.htm

Both of which will fix the problem (from two completely different
directions).

Good luck
