How do you change to color of the text in c++.

I am learning how to program using c++.  It is the dos programming, not the windows programming.I want to know how to make the color of the text change. Not all of it jsut the text that I want too.  If you know please reply I would be most grateful.Thanks

Thats :

textcolor(x);

with x=[0..14]

as far as I remember.

You can download C++ 3.1 with great help section, from my site

Good luck with C++, it's great stuff

Can you explain that in a little more detail?

What if i wanted to output the word "cow" in red?

What would the sytax be?

Thanks

#include(conio.h)
textcolor(RED);cout('cow');
end

plz don't laugh,  haven't used c++ for years  

Cheers

shouldn't it be cout << "cow"; ?

CMON !!  

Well keefe dude, you've brought it on your ***.
I, like, totally couldn't miss this one

Chef sez mooo
Chers

Thanks for trying to help Chef, but the code jsut doen't work.  The syntax is all wrong and when you do make it the correct cout and all it still doesn't work right

That is cool stuff.

Can you please attach the c++ source for that proggy?

Thanks Much

Nothing I can be proud of, but if you insist :

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<dos.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<graphics.h>
main(){
clrscr();
printf("Experience the power of Chef now ...");
delay(10000);
clrscr();
randomize();
gotoxy(1,25);printf("Visit www.cheflab.com for BETTER things ");
for(int i=0;i<1000;i++)
{
sound(random(2000));
delay(20);

textcolor(random(14)+1);

gotoxy(random(6+1,random(24)+1);
cprintf("ChefruleZ");
}
nosound();
}

Again, first time in last 2 years  

Cheers
