    Escape Sequences

    I found escape sequences on the Internet one time and at the time could not use them properly, yesterday i found two of them being used correctly in a function to clear the screen, they where:

    printf("\033[2J"); //Clears the Screen
    printf("\033[0;0f"); // Sets cursor back to position (0,0)

    There where many more in the list i found but due to an unfortunate mishap (I deleted the file) i do not have them anymore. I was wondering if any one else knew of more, or perhaps (hopefully) all of them. I would appreciate it if some one could post them as they would be useful to all of to use.
    Yours truly

    I would also be interested if any one knows of them.

    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.

    If you are using DOS/Windows, be sure to load ANSI.SYS from your config.sys file, and search the web for "ansi.sys escape sequences".
    If you are using unix/linux, search for "console_codes", "vt100" or "vt102"

    Hope this helps...
