prisma

Command Line STDOUT Colorizer

Requirements

Prisma works on all platforms, Linux, OSX and Windows.

• Python 3 (Python 2.7 still works)
• colorama

Installation

• Clone the github repository - with a desktop client on Windows / OSX or via command line git clone https://github.com/Neo23x0/prisma
• Install colorama Python module via sudo easy_install colorama or sudo pip install colorama

Quick Start

Just pipe command line output to prisma.py

cat /var/log/syslog | python ./prisma.py

or make it executable and place it in a binary folder in order to use it anywhere you want

chmod +x ./prisma.py
sudo cp prisma.py /usr/local/bin
cat /var/log/syslog | prisma.py

If you encounter situations, where color codes are stripped, but should preserved, use -p to pass raw ANSI codes.

Usage

usage: prisma.py [-h] [-s string [string ...]] [-i] [-w seconds] [--debug]

Prisma - command line colorizer

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -s string [string ...]
                        Strings to highlight - separated with space 
                        (e.g. -s failed error)
  -i                    Case-insensitive search for strings
  -w seconds            Pause on string match (in seconds)
  --debug               Debug output

Use prisma to find certain string (here: 'error' and 'fail') in an output, be case-insensitive and wait 3 seconds on every match (see animated GIF below for a demo)

cat /var/log/messages | prisma.py -s error fail -i -w 3
