Forcing astring onto the same line

Hi I am new to this so forgive me if this has been asked but does anybody know a character similiar to the \n to force and output line back onto the line above. The problem I have is I am doing a user input followed by a comma followed by another user input co-ordinates obv, but it will only pull over 2 lines?e.g.
enter next move?
5
,6
I am trying to force it on the same line but cannot anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks Dave

You can never go backwards. But: in this case it appears to be the user's fault, not your fault. I mean, if you ask them to type "5,6" and they type "5[enter],6" there's nothing you can do about it.

You could probably use getline, parse that and "punish" the user unless they type things the way you like with prompting again, closing the program etc. That would not give them a choice but to enter things on the same line.

But is it worth it?

if you are using windows you can make a gotoxy(int,int) function. This would allow you to go backwards, but it is obviously very platform dependent.
