Title: Re: How can I do color text output?
Thank you to those who sent suggestions for doing color text output. Having my C++ program create a simple RTF file worked very well and I did not need to use cocoa.
However, now I have a new problem. I tried creating a new project/program that I thought was identical to my original C++ program (but with a different name). The original builds and runs just fine, but the new one is failing with “duplicate symbol _main...” Can anyone tell me why this might be happening? Both projects seem to have a file main.cpp (which was generated automatically), which contains a main function. And both projects have .cpp files that I created that have a main function. Why does one build successfully and the other fail?
I’m so confused!

Hello,
I don’t think you can color the console output.
I think the simplest solution would be to create an RTF file:

I am new to Xcode and was wondering if someone could advise me about the best approach to writing a simple program that outputs text in color. It could be output to a file or to the console — I just need to be able to print the color output. For example, how can I write “hello world” with the characters in different colors? Can I do this using C++ and the console for output? Or must I use cocoa (if so, how?)? Or is there some simpler option? I only need to use a few basic colors (nothing fancy).
Thanks for any help!
