gotoxy()

is there a way to get the current courser position.., so if I put that in the position numbers in the gotoxy() function, it'll stay in the same spot?

In my compiler (Borland 5.5) I have wherex() and wherey(). Maybe you have these?

I only found them by opening conio.h and looking to see what function prototypes are in there.

It's not terribly difficult to create a Windows implementation of wherex and wherey with gotoxy from the FAQ.

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>

COORD coord;

void gotoxy(int x, int y)
{
  coord.X = (short)x;
  coord.Y = (short)y;
  SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), coord);
}

int wherex ( void )
{
  return coord.X;
}

int wherey ( void )
{
  return coord.Y;
}

thankx guys :)
