    Unhappy Locate? :(

    Hey, I was just wondering if there is a command that can locate postions (like in QB LOCATE).
    I'm sure there is, I just don't know what it would be.
    If you can help, please post on this board.
    Thanks alot for the help.

    Short answer - no.

    Long answer - depends on your compiler and OS - there is no standard way.
    For real DOS programs, there's gotoxy (see conio.h)
    For win32 console programs, see

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
