ANSI Option

Option 'D' --> Use ANSI.SYS Display Driver. This option allows the user to force QTGrep to use the ANSI.SYS display driver to highlight the match string on output. This option is very useful when used to pick out the match string from the surrounding record on output. The colors to usefor highlighting the output are specified in the QTGrep configuration file.

This option is unconditionally turned off if either the 'r' or 'z' options are specified.

This is a local option and may be turned on or off for separate files as desired.

The corresponding long option is: --colors=(on|off)

The long options setting display colors can be used to set the display colors or changing those set in the configuration file. These are:
