using color in batch scripts

[cahelmster]

Is there any way to change the color of just a variable instead of the entire background or text? I would like to set a variable to red lettering, for instance, and keep the primary text color of everything else as white. Any ideas?

Thanks!

In the ancient world of DOS, one could add ANSI codes to a batch file to acheive this. I do not know if this would still work or not.

Good Luck!

Are we talking batch files, or VBScript?
