You can actually try this file

But some things need admin

Answer 1

the command to change the colour is color bf (where b is the background and f is the foreground, the link I supplied will give more information on that

color 40 will give a red background with black text
color 0f is to change it back to black background with white text.

colour 40 change colours
echo Warning add warning lines
set /P c=Do you want to continue[Y/N]? prompt (wait for response)
colour 0f change colour back
if /I "%c%" NEQ "Y" Exit deal with the response from user

Answer 2

Yeah I will go to changing the color of the background instead of Changing the font size

but if I use this

set /P c=Do you want to continue[Y/N]? colour 0f if /I "%c%" NEQ "Y" Exit

It asks whether to continue or not but it does not change the color of the background

Is anything wrong with this Command

I also tries this

@echo offsetlocal:PROMPTSET /P AREYOUSURE=Are you sure (Y/[N])?IF /I "%AREYOUSURE%" NEQ "Y" GOTO ENDecho ... rest of file ...:ENDendlocal

I want it to change the Color

Please Edit the command and please give me <Sorry for that>

I want it to change the color to white instead of black

Answer 3

Hi Pranav.

You cannot change the font of a single output line, the change will affect the whole terminal window.

You could change the colours of the terminal window (eg red background) to draw attention to the warning.

Color command

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server...

however, if the process is terminated at this point and the terminal window closed, it will remember the colour change and will display those colours next time the terminal is opened.

I would suggest that you make it so that an input is required following the warning,

so that if the user has the option to exit or continue

eg

set /P c=Do you want to continue[Y/N]?

colour 0f

if /I "%c%" NEQ "Y" Exit

if the user presses Y, the colour will be set to white on black and the batch file will continue.

if the user presses any other key, the colour will be reset and the batch file will exit.

there are third party options that will apparently change the colour of specific text output

such as these mentioned in this thread on Stackoverflow, which may be of interest.

Answer 4

Do you mean it is impossible to increase the font size of certain lines

Many websites tell things things I don't understand

Answer 5

I've tested a bunch of .bat files in my computer history, and according to my thoughts, since .bat files run in a CMD window, I think it's impossible.
