coding question

[C4Wiz]

here is my code it returns true or false, how do i make it so if it returns true it's one color, and if it returns false it's another, but keep the Update text black?

print("Update: %s" % versions['core_update']) + "| color=black"

Use ANSI escape codes to change the text in the middle of the printed string.

See https://github.com/matryer/bitbar-plugins/blob/master/Tutorial/ansi.sh

This example picks a random colour (red/green) for the random number that comes after "Update:"

#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php

$GREEN = "\033[32m";
$RED = "\033[31m";
$BLACK = "\033[0m";

$COLOUR = (rand(0,1)) ? $RED : $GREEN;

printf("Update: $COLOUR%s", rand(0,10)) . "$BLACK| ansi=true color=black";

@gingerbeardman i think im close but i get a syntax error on this line: if not versions['core_current'] == versions[core_latest']:

print("Core: %s (%s)" % (versions['core_current'],
                         versions['core_branch'])) + "| color=black"
    if not versions['core_current'] == versions[core_latest']:
     print("Update available: %s" % versions['core_latest']) + "| color=red"
    else:
     print("Up to date| color=green")

i actually figured it out!

    print("Core: %s (%s)" % (versions['core_current'],
                             versions['core_branch'])) + "| color=black"
    if versions['core_current'] != versions['core_latest']:
     print("Update available: %s" % versions['core_latest']) + "| color=red"
    else:
     print("Up to date| color=green")
