output question

[J.D]

Hi everyone.

I've been trying to create a simple program that would allow the user
to see an updated set of values without having newline after newline.

For example:

Value: 4 // the 4 could be replaced in the same position
with another
number and so on.

I've been playing around with sprintf and I've gotten good results
with:


/* Placed in a loop with a time delay. Values are updated in the same
line
*/
sprintf(buff, "\r Cpu 0 Temp: %.2f C Cpu 1 Temp: %.2f C Sys Temp:
%.2f C ", t, t1, t2);

cout << buff;


However, when i add a second row:

Cpu 0 Temp: 30 C Cpu 1 Temp: 31 C Sys Temp: 30 C
HD Size: 20 G

my solution no longer works.


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You are asking how to reposition your console's cursor. This newsgroup is
not qualified to answer; you'd get better results using
http://groups.google.com , and seeking either "ANSI escape sequences" or
"wincon.h".

You can't do it using ANSI C++. You would need to refer to your C++
library and see if it provides any functions, like gotoxy() etc.

Thanks for the heads up on gotoxy(), helped me find what i needed.


#include <graph.h>

_settextposition();


Seems to be able to do the trick, works in open watcom 1.2
