Console - How do I color certain text?

[sambrown]

I understand how to change all the text's color with system("color 04"); but how might I change certain lines or individual letters without affecting the other letters?

Thanks

There is no standard C++ way for this. You have to use platform specific functions, like SetConsoleTextAttribute for Windows, or these codes: http://linuxgazette.net/issue65/padala.html if your terminal supports them.
