If Statement

Hi All,

Just got a quick question,

If it possible to find out if there is a value in a certain location?

for example

Code:

---

if (gotoxy(1,5) == number)

---

in other words can gotoxy be used to find a variable?

i cant try it cos im at work and have no compiler.

This is just one of my whacky ideas!!

Cheers guys
Boon

No, but other conio.h (assuming you're using that) functions can be used to read from the screen buffer. Provided you know the coordinates you can use this:

Code:

---

#include <conio.h>

int gettext(int left, int top, int right, int bottom, void *buffer);

---

thanks alot
