Python-color-print-V2

A Python function to print colored text to the console using advanced terminal colors.

Function Signature

python def print_Color(Input: str, print_END: str = '\n', start_char: str = '<', end_char: str = '>'):

Parameters

• Input (str): The input string to be printed. '' is used to specify the color of the following text.
• print_END (str): The string appended after the final output. Default is '\n'.
• start_char (str): The character used as the start of the color specifier. Default is '<'.
• end_char (str): The character used as the end of the color specifier. Default is '>'.

Usage

you can print a string in color. For example: python print_Color('<green>Hello, World!') This will print 'Hello, World!' in green.

Or like: python print_Color('hello <red>hello in red <green>hello in green')

Special Characters

The '<>' characters are used as separators for different parts of the string that need to be printed in different colors when using advanced mode.

Code snippet

```python import re

def printColor(Input: str, printEND: str = '\n', startchar: str = '<', endchar: str = '>'): """ Prints colored text to the console using advanced terminal colors.

    print_END (str): The string appended after the final output. Default is '\\n'.
    start_char (str): The character used as the start of the color specifier. Default is '<'.
    end_char (str): The character used as the end of the color specifier. Default is '>'.

Examples:
~~~python
    print_Color('Hello, World!') 
    # Prints 'Hello, World!' in normal color.

    print_Color('<red>Hello in red<green> Hello in green') 
    # Prints 'Hello in red' in red and 'Hello in green' in green.

    print_Color('~red!Hello in red', start_char='~', end_char='!') 
    # Prints 'Hello, World!' in normal color.

Note:
