I have tried with the following code for, Gábor helped me in process

(use-modules (ice-9 binary-ports))
(use-modules (ice-9 i18n))

(define stdout (current-output-port))
(define s (read(current-input-port)))
(define p (make-soft-port
           (vector
            (lambda (c) (write c stdout))
            (lambda (s) (display (string-upcase! s) stdout))
            (lambda () (display "." stdout))
            (lambda () (char-upcase (read-char)))
            (lambda () (display "@" stdout)))
           "rw"))
(write s p)

The above resulted me with a capitalized output

(use-modules (ice-9 binary-ports)) ;Though name is binary, All ports in
Guile are both binary and textual ports.
(use-modules (ice-9 i18n))  ; The |(ice-9 i18n)| module provides
procedures to manipulate text and other data
(use-modules (ice-9 colorized)) ;Colorizing module
(activate-colorized)

(define stdout (current-output-port)) ;stdout variable act as an output port
(define s (read(current-input-port))) ; s variable reads the input from
input port
;soft ports are used for customization on how output port works
(define p (make-soft-port
           (vector
            (lambda (c) (write c stdout)) ;accepting one character for
output
            (lambda (s) (display (colorized-display (string-upcase! s)
'(GREEN)) stdout)) ;accepting a string, Capitalizing it and then
colorizing with for output
            (lambda () (display "." stdout))
            (lambda () (char-upcase (read-char)))
            (lambda () (display "@" stdout)))
           "rw"))
(write s p)



This results out with a capitalized, colorized output

the description for that goes this way....

The input taken from input port is read and stored in variable "s". 
This variable is passed to make-soft-port.  The variable s is
capitalized by locale conversion then binded with color. the result is
displayed when called.


I have tried the other process using escape codes however failed with
the result i will come with this implementation and procedure in my next
mail
