On Dec 17, 2003
Hi All
using Term:ANSIColor - does anyone know if it's possible ( or maybe I mean
practical) to print out negative numbers in say RED, at the same time
ensuring the original value is retained.
so if value is -16 the it should print 16 in RED text otherwise leave it
alone.
Thanks in advance
