See in action

Usage

Pipe text though it to highlight:

1. Numbers, try:

   cat something | colorize '[0-9]+'
   

2. Lines matching phrase, try:

   cat anotherthing | colorize '.*phrase.*'
   

3. Headers in curl, try:

   cat anything | colorize '^[^:]*:'
   

If you don't like distribution of the colors, add some random number as second argument.
