Here is a simple method I wrote for writing console messages with inline color changes. It only supports one color, but it fits my needs.
// usage: WriteColor("This is my [message] with inline [color] changes.", ConsoleColor.Yellow);
static void WriteColor(string message, ConsoleColor color)
{
var pieces = Regex.Split(message, @"(\[[^\]]*\])");
for(int i=0;i<pieces.Length;i++)
{
string piece = pieces[i];
if (piece.StartsWith("[") && piece.EndsWith("]"))
{
Console.ForegroundColor = color;
piece = piece.Substring(1,piece.Length-2);
}
Console.Write(piece);
Console.ResetColor();
}
Console.WriteLine();
}
