How to use: 

Use any kind of <stdin> text stream with a pipe.

colorize.pl will print out every line from <stdin> to <stdout>. However rows 
with matching strings, will be colorized with your choice of color. 

colorizing whole rows: 
Standard Options format:  -<style><foreground><background>:<searchstring>
Quick colorisatoin Options format: -:<searchstring> 

colorizing single words:
Standard Options format:  +<style><foreground><background>:<searchstring>
Quick colorisatoin Options format: +:<searchstring>

<style>            : n = normal, l = light, u=underscore, i = inverted,
                   : b = blinking
<foreground color> : 0 = black, 1 = red, 2 = green, 3 = yellow, 4 = blue,
                   : 5 = purple, 6 = cyan, 7 = white
<background color> : 0 = black, 1 = red, 2 = green, 3 = yellow, 4 = blue,
                   : 5 = purple, 6 = cyan, 7 = white, 8 = no background
<searchstring>     : string  (or regular expression!)
