Actual problem is how to get the variable cursur point !

Thanks Franklin..

But the actual problem here is to get the cursor position dynamically. The cursor pos is variable and this prog need to get the printing position before printing to that location. Other parts like clearing we can use our own logic. Like ..

====================
for e in asd niroj sinu rajesh ava o
do

l=` expr length $e `
tput cup 30 40#This is varible. I need to get the cursor pos dynamically


while [ $l -ge 0 ] //to clear at position i am overwriting with space double the prev word length
do
print " \c"
l=` expr $l - 1 `
done

tput cup 30 40#This is varible. I need to get the cursor pos dynamically

echo $e
sleep 1

done
