Hi,

Just playing around a bit with different colors in shell scripts, I've come across a problem colorings an output parsed through xargs.

I'm sure it's just a question of escaping the string correctly.

/echo -e '\E32mTest' /
echo -e '\E[32mTest'
Prints the word Test in green.

While
echo Test > test.txt
/cat test.txt | xargs -i echo -e '\E32m{}' /
cat test.txt | xargs -i echo -e '\E[32m{}'
prints \E32mTest
prints \E[32mTest

Any ideas ?
