&lt;p&gt;this is a somehow wonderful example of what we cculd do (easily) with Powershell,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but imho. of something we might never have to do :-)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you ask me, I won&amp;#39;t find anybody to envy my underline capabilities if they are restricted to simple ASCII text. Nobody seems to love this anymore ... years ago, as we did output plenty thousand of pages of printed Logs on green paper with red lines in between ... we would have been kings to have that function!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But now ... no chances to win a dime any more!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway : the function is a nice example of what we can easily do with PS and reading through your article saved my day ... I did all this stuff years ago with algol 67 and Fortan IV or 77 eg.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Long ago and far more complicated ...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Good times !?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well ... yes and no!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Klaus (Schulte)&lt;/p&gt;
