Blinking text in shell script (Putty;Linux)

I am tailing a file using Putty.



I have this code:



tail -f /srv/ppp/ppp*.log | perl -pe 's/(TransactionID)/e[4;38;5;255m$&e[0m/g';


The following code makes the string "TransactionID" underlined and adds a color.
My question is how can I also make the "TransactionID" string blink?
