Thank you for the script. Thanks to these codes, I will be able to color specific words in my BAT files. Of course, by simplifying it as much as possible. An example, on CMD:

@for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=#" %a in ('"prompt #$H#$E# & echo on & for %b in (1) do rem"') do set ESC=%b
@set Yellow=%ESC%[93m
@Set ColorOff=%ESC%[0m
@Echo An attempt to show a word as %Yellow%yellow%ColorOff% color in a sentence...

Here let me repost... I'm on Win10 Pro

Ok there was an email here stating it no longer worked, I replied to show I was not having the issue reported, perhaps they pulled their comment/request already. I'll leave this up for historical purposes I suppose lol , a little posterirty as it were.

Lite version.

Basic

Clean text + %<% + FOREGROUND / BACKGROUND / STYLES + Custom text + %>% + Clean text

Combine FOREGROUND / BACKGROUND / STYLES

Example: %FF_Black% + %BB_Cyan% + %Inverse%
have to Convert into this: %FF_Black:m=;%%BB_Cyan:m=;%%Inverse%
The rule. the last VAR doesn't change, only the others before him.
By replace %VAR% with %VAR:m=;%

The setESC subroutine can be simplified to:

:setESC
for /F %%a in ('"prompt $E$S & echo on & for %%b in (1) do rem"') do set "ESC=%%a"
exit /B

+1: This is much more straightforward and understandable.
Thank you @sepehrst
