You want the data highlighted on stdout?

Magnus,

Nice job with v.  However, it doesn't work under OSX (10.6.8 Snow Leopard) (it does in linux).

I'm pretty sure its because STDOUT is not /proc/self/fd/9 on OSX.  I tried /dev/fd/1 but this didn't work.

return writefile(retv, '/proc/self/fd/9')

Could you provide a patch for OSX? 

Thanks

Matt
