need info on current curser postion.

Hi All,

I have written the below code to know the current curser position. The problem with this code is - it gives me window size properly but whn it comes to current curser position then it gives (0,0) as x,y co-ordinate eventhough my curser is somewhere middle on command line interface.

So could you please tell me that whats the purpose of getyx(). If it is to know current curser position then why does it always give me 0,0 as x,y co-ordinate?
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
initscr();
getmaxyx(stdscr, row, col);
getyx(stdscr, y, x);
endwin();
////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Thanks in advance
Swapnil

The SeekableIterator interface

INTRODUCTION
The Seekable iterator. INTERFACE SYNOPSIS
SeekableIterator SeekableIteratorextends Iterator Methods o abstractpublic void SeekableIterator::seek (int $position) Inherited methods o abstractpublic mixed Iterator::current (void ) o abstractpublic scalar Iterator::key (void ) o abstractpublic void Iterator::next (void ) o abstractpublic void Iterator::rewind (void ) o abstractpublic boolean Iterator::valid (void ) Example #1 Basic usage This example demonstrates creating a custom SeekableIterator, seeking to a position and handling an invalid position. <?php class MySeekableIterator implements SeekableIterator { private $position; private $array = array( "first element", "second element", "third element", "fourth element" ); /* Method required for SeekableIterator interface */ public function seek($position) { if (!isset($this->array[$position])) { throw new OutOfBoundsException("invalid seek position ($position)"); } $this->position = $position; } /* Methods required for Iterator interface */ public function rewind() { $this->position = 0; } public function current() { return $this->array[$this->position]; } public function key() { return $this->position; } public function next() { ++$this->position; } public function valid() { return isset($this->array[$this->position]); } } try { $it = new MySeekableIterator; echo $it->current(), " "; $it->seek(2); echo $it->current(), " "; $it->seek(1); echo $it->current(), " "; $it->seek(10); } catch (OutOfBoundsException $e) { echo $e->getMessage(); } ?> The above example will output something similar to: first element third element second element invalid seek position(10) PHP Documentation Group SEEKABLEITERATOR(3)
