The following page has a nice example of how to highlight text in logfiles: http://www.euperia.com/linux/how-to-highlight-keywords-when-using-tail/903
Here is the example: tail -f file.log | perl -pe 's/keyword/\e[1;31;43m$&\e[0m/g' What are the regex replacements in the second part of the replace called? They are rather hard to goolge for without a name! If anybody has a good resource bookmarked with examples, I would love to see that as well.
