New Colorize: Bash

[MichiFr]

New Feature/Solution

Can you please implement a new Colorize option to format a bash command line or shell script?

Thanks,
Michael

Not complete coverage by any means, but a good start. For example, it would be nice to figure out a regex that parses embedded variables inside a string.

It recognizes comment, strings, numbers, and these basic reserved keywords

• if, then, elif, else, fi, time, for, in, until, while, do, done, case, esac, coproc, select, function

 It recognizes some known Bash variables and differentiates those from others, including.

• $$, $# , $@ , $* , $0
• $HOME, $HOSTNAME, $NAME, $LINENO, $PATH, $PWD, $SHELL, $USER, $UID
