How can I colorize logger output in a rails 3 console

How can I color开发者_C百科ize and possibly bold the output from Rails.logger in my rails3 application?

Be kind to other programmers, don't embed the escape sequences directly in your strings. Maybe use a library like Rainbow or Term-ANSIColor? Eg Term-ANSIColor:

require 'term/ansicolor'
include Term::ANSIColor

Rails.logger.add 1, "#{red(ATCHUNG!)}: pay attention to me!"

How do I tell ActiveRecord not to log any control chars

just do the opposite, for active record
