So I'm writing a console application for dos and such, and I wrote this while loop such that I keep asking for the correct input, you know validating correct inputs, well all i wanted to was when the user gave me the incorrect input they would reenter the data. The problem is I only want to prompt the user once, and I don't won't to scroll down another line, is it possible to delete the input that was entried? My only solution was to use for loops some escape commands, reposted the same prompts, and wa-lah! any suggestions, if i can't do it go ahead and say so, I've been told i can't do several things b4.
