#
# PURPOSE: Highlight text in a file. 
#    Given a text string and a file the script will search
#    the file for the specified string pattern and highlight
#    each occurrence. For standard input the script pages a
#    temporary file which has the string text highlighted.
#
# set -x   # Uncomment to debug
# set -n   # Uncomment to check script syntax without execution
#
# EXIT CODES:
#       0 ==> Script exited normally
#       1 ==> Usage error
#       2 ==> Input File Error
#       3 ==> Pattern not found in the file
