How to change text color of cmd with windows batch script every 1 second

Question

The color command has to do with changing color of windows command promt background/text

color 0A - where 0 is the background color and A is the text color

I want to change these color of text every 1 second in windows batch script using an array with 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F witch are the color codes.

0 = Black       8 = Gray 1 = Blue        9 = Light Blue 2 = Green       A = Light Green 3 = Aqua        B = Light Aqua 4 = Red         C = Light Red 5 = Purple      D = Light Purple 6 = Yellow      E = Light Yellow 7 = White       F = Bright White 

the command should be go every second like this

color 01 color 02 color 03 .... color 0E color 0F 

and for these i found some little script but im not sure how to make it work to change the color for every 1 second!

for /L %%i in (1,1,%n%) do echo !array[%%i]! 

or this

@echo off CLS for /l %%a in (15,-1,1) do ( color 0A cls ) pause 

or this

SET COUNTDOWN=15 :COUNTDOWNLOOP IF %COUNTDOWN%==0 GOTO END color 0A && %R1% CLS SET /A COUNTDOWN -=1 GOTO COUNTDOWNLOOP :END 

Answer 1

This should fit the bill. Sounds like a super-annoying thing to have going on, but there you have it:

@echo off set NUM=0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F for %%x in (%NUM%) do (      for %%y in (%NUM%) do (         color %%x%%y         timeout 1 >nul     ) ) 

Answer 2

Try this script. This can write any text on any position of screen and don't use temporary files or ".com, .exe" executables. Just make shure you have the "debug.exe" executable in windows\system or windows\system32 folders.
