Hello. Outputs, the one reported here

PC/SC device scanner
V 1.4.9 (c) 2001-2006, Ludovic Rousseau <ludovic.rousseau@free.fr>
Compiled with PC/SC lite version: 1.3.1
[v]Scanning present readers

and the one produced in my system

$ pcsc_scan
[v]Using reader plug'n play mechanism
[r]Scanning present readers...
[r]Waiting for the first reader

differ from each other.

Note: expressions [v] and [r] were manual additions in order to indicate the strings that are exhibited respectively in violet and red color codes.

The application of red in respect to Scanning present readers... and Waiting for the first reader is not relevant since there is no warning involved to be expressed.

The screen copy on the web site is for an old version of pcsc_scan. Maybe I should update it. You can use pcsc_scan -V to know the version installed in your system.

What colour do you propose instead?

[Ricky-Tigg]

$ pcsc_scan -V

Before closing

• The mention of copyright is expressed here as <year><hyphen><year>. Worth noting that an en-dash (–), is what the usage defines for applying to range of dates, not a hyphen (-), which is commonly misused by people. For example, to produce an en-dash within a LibreOffice Writer document; enter "1--1", press space. As a result "--" is converted into an en-dash. Otherwise as you may have not noticed yet the end year is erroneous.
  • When it comes to a non-warning and non-error message string, you already have strings expressed as such either as non-colored as illustrated by pcsc_scan -V or colored as illustrated by Using reader plug'n play mechanism. Then they are pertinent sources of inspiration aren't they?

[LudovicRousseau]

I used an hyphen as in https://epiphany.law/articles/copyright/copyright-dates-single-year-or-range/ I don't think 2001--2022 will look great.

I updated the year in 85b931d0cf80534569a34fd3ba896534503c1920

You have not chosen the colour you want to use instead of red.

[Ricky-Tigg]

Look closer! Your very statement 2001--2022, doesn't it show two hyphens. It does, doesn't it?. Then you can conclude by yourself that you did omit to do the instructed conversion, otherwise of course, you would have obtained 2001–2022.

Those sources of inspiration were implicitly here to serve your choice. Well. you would not expect users to put words in your mouse nor to tell you what to like and not to like, for instance here, the presentation of a font. I can at best share with you what would be my choice if i were you, which is some non-colored strings.
