displaying text below user input (cin)

Hi~ My question is: Is there a way to display text below the user input (in this case "cin>>") in a console application? I want the text to be displayed when the input is also displayed.


here's an example of what I mean...

Text here

User input here
more text underneath.

Code:

---

cout << "Text here" <<endl << endl;
cin >> input;
cout << "More text here" << endl;

---

Unfortunately that displays the text after a user has entered an input. I want the text to be displayed before the user inputs anything.

You'll have to move the "cursor" back up to do the input. The way to do this varies by OS.

If you want to use a function where you can define a place that you print to. I think you can use tellp (ostream). It moves a file pointer to place where you specify. Standard output is in the console unless you define a file. So you may be able to move the cout to the last place you were at for instance -20 chars. Or whatever you want to go back..

I don't know how to use it or even if it can be used in this way, but someone might.

Just a thought.
