How can I read novels with a batch file? - China DOS Union Forum

Adjust the colors yourself.

@echo off
color 70
more "%~f1"
pause

C:\Test>color /?
Sets the default console foreground and background colors.

COLOR

attr Specifies color attribute of console output

Color attributes are specified by TWO hex digits -- the first
corresponds to the background; the second the foreground. Each digit
can be any of the following values:

0 = Black 8 = Gray
1 = Blue 9 = Light Blue
2 = Green A = Light Green
3 = Aqua B = Light Aqua
4 = Red C = Light Red
5 = Purple D = Light Purple
6 = Yellow E = Light Yellow
7 = White F = Bright White

If no argument is given, this command restores the color to what it was
when CMD.EXE started. This value either comes from the current console
window, the /T command line switch or from the DefaultColor registry
value.

The COLOR command sets ERRORLEVEL to 1 if an attempt is made to execute
the COLOR command with a foreground and background color that are the
same.

Example: "COLOR fc" produces light red on bright white

Make a P file. When I want to read a novel (a txt file), I can just drag the file onto P and then read the novel. P's background has some colors that are easier on the eyes, so it's better for reading novels. (What I said above is for reading novels at work; reading in plain text isn't good for the eyes.) Can this be done?
