So, an XML file or web post lists a bunch of colour specs like; 0x1e93c6, 0xf2b827, 0xd6563c, 0x6a5c9e, 0x31a35f; and you want to see what they look like.
You could paste each one into a colour viewer, but I couldn't find any tool to take them all at once. The following code takes random text containing hex colour strings, and creates an HTML file of square colour swatches.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w # # hextoswatch.pl - Extract colour strings from random code or HTML. # Currently only looks for 0xRRGGBB and #RRGGBB. # # perl hextoswatch.pl < source.txt > swatch.html # # and then open swatch.html in a browser! # # Chars that make up a colour string: # my $hexRegex = '0-9a-zA-Z'; my $colRegex = "#x$hexRegex"; my @hexSs = (); while ( <STDIN> ) { chomp; my @words = split /[^$colRegex]/; push @hexSs, (grep /^(0x|#)[$hexRegex]{6}$/, @words); } map { s/^(0x|#)(......)/$2/ } @hexSs; #print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "<HTML>\n\n"; print "<HEAD>\n"; print "<TITLE>Colour swatches from random text</TITLE>\n"; print "</HEAD>\n\n"; print "<BODY><TABLE BORDER=1>\n"; print "<TR>"; my $cell = 0; foreach my $hex ( @hexSs ) { print "<TD BGCOLOR='#$hex'>", "<FONT COLOR='white'>$hex</FONT><BR><BR>", "<FONT COLOR='black'>$hex</FONT></TD>"; if ( $cell++ gt 4 ) { $cell=0; print "</TR>\n</TR>" } } print "</TR></TABLE></BODY></HTML>\n";
