Change text colour in console
Please support our C++ advertiser: Intel Parallel Studio Home

Hi I was just wondering how you change the text colour of only some of the text in a console when you are using cout to display your text.
I tried using
obviously where X and Y are hex numbers and X sets the background color and Y the foreground (or text) colour, but this isn't very useful since the whole screen just changes the the last set of colours in the code for that particular console display instead of just the selected text changing colour.
I tried using
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
obviously where X and Y are hex numbers and X sets the background color and Y the foreground (or text) colour, but this isn't very useful since the whole screen just changes the the last set of colours in the code for that particular console display instead of just the selected text changing colour.
Me fail English?

I wouldn't bother. Pointless in my opinion. It's rather hackish.
Can be done in much better way.
