something about printf (or maybe scanf)
I need help. Is there any way I can make my output screen print out what I type in underlined?
For example, for the word PROGRAMMING... When I type in the first character P, the P in the output screen will be underlined. THen when I finished typing everything, the word PROGRAMMING will be underlined.
Anybody know how 2 do this?
Thanks!

FYI, I'm on Win XP. I've got 2 compiler here. 1 is the MS Visual C++ and the other one is the Borland 5.5 compiler...

I dont think you can in console mode, but check here
For windows GUI programs, there are all sorts of possibilities - the simplest is to use an underline font.
As I'm not a windows programmer, you'd best ask again on the windows specific board.
You can create an underlined font with the windows API, but I'm not sure if it's possible in console applications. Look up the CHAR_INFO struct on msdn for further information if I recall correctly.

My best code is written with the delete key.
This might be what you are trying to do.
If you are doing this as an assignment for a computer science class. Here is what I did (make it simple):
I made a copy of the string I was going to use and whenever it found the word(s) I was looking for it would replace it with an Underscore '_'. All the other letters were turned into spaces.
Then I printed out the string. Then used a '\n' newline escape character. And then I printed out the underline(s).
EXAMPLE: (supposing the word to find was "words")
These are the words I was looking for these words!

This may not have been what you were trying to do but If it is, this might be helpful.

PS. I know there are better ways to do this, but I did it a long time ago. I hope this helps.
