However in C++, programmers are encouraged to use iostream instead of printf/puts. So my question is: Can iostream be used to print colored text? If it can, how do I do it (perhaps provide me with a small snippet of code to see how to do it)? Anyway, is it a convention for C++ programmers to print colored text using iostream? Or C++ programmers still stick to cprintf to do it? Thanks for your attention. ------------------------------ Yong-Kwang Goh Ngee Ann Polytechnic The Centre for Computer Studies Email: s6606555 AT np DOT edu DOT sg ------------------------------
