Hi,
Is any way to highlight text in windows cmd? I have a script which
throws its output on cmd and it would be convenient to me if the text
will be colorized.

Two real choices:

http://rubyforge.org/projects/win32console/

or

http://www.jpsoft.com/4ntdes.htm

Both of which will fix the problem (from two completely different directions).

Good luck
