Or... cat chess/chess/src/main.c | source-highlight --src-lang=c --out-format=esc Although to be honest "esc" isn't that useful an output format, source-highlight does a load of other languages and output formats. Simon, why were you after this? Source highlighting is useful for editing and documentation, but it seems pretty pointless as just part of cat'ing a file. I'm thinking "view" is maybe what you are looking for, starts vim in read-only mode, but maybe there is something else you are trying to do. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
