Really? I thought this is what the ^[[6n escape sequence was for?
Thanks, that does the trick (in a very ugly way though). No need to be ironical about it though, it's not as if hardcoded escape sequences were that much of an obvious solution (although it is true I could have found it myself, which I did, actually, a few hours after creating this thread).

It can't do this because ncurses knows it by clearing the screen an keeping track of it, which is incompatible with launching external programs easily.

Well I'm sorry if it sounds like that but that's just not true.
As a matter of fact, I found a better solution to this problem than ^[[6n. The end is not to find the cursor position, this is the mean. The real purpose here is to be able to stay on the current line if we're at the beginning of it or print a % and get to the next line otherwise. To achieve this I thought the cursor position was needed but it's not.
You can get the same result by always printing a %, and number_of_columns_in_the_terminal - 1 spaces, then a carriage return and the 'ce' termcap. This is in fact what my version of zsh seems to do (I tried selecting the end of the last line to check for spaces).
Could anybody help me.
I need to create a script that reads a text file from STDIN and prints out the file to STDOUT with line numbers at the beginning of each line.

How would you do vim copy line and paste at the beginning, middle, and end of another line. I know yy copies the whole line and p pastes the whole line, but on its own separate line.

fizsh
fizsh(1) fizsh fizsh(1)NAME
fizsh - friendly interactive zshell.
SYNOPSIS
fizsh [OPTIONS]... [ARGUMENTS]...
DESCRIPTION
Fizsh is a front end to zsh. Fizsh provides zsh with interactive syntax-highlighting and a MATLAB-like history-search. Fizsh is intended to
look and feel similar to fish. A distinguishing feature is that fizsh can handle Bourne compatible syntax. This is because fizsh is a front
end to zsh. Fish uses its own syntax.
CONFIGURATION
$HOME/.fizsh is the directory where fizsh keeps its configuration files. The file $HOME/.fizsh/.fizshrc serves as the user's local startup
script. Local customizations, such as aliases and functions, can be added here. $HOME/.fizsh/.fizshrc allows the same syntax as
$HOME/.zshrc under zsh. $HOME/.fizsh/.fizsh_history is default name of fizsh's history file.
The other files in $HOME/.fizsh are installed by /usr/bin/fizsh. In order to reinstall these files use: /usr/bin/fizsh -r or /usr/bin/fizsh
--reinstall.
Compared to the default configuration of zsh, fizsh additionally sets the options "histignorealldups", "histignorespace",
"histreduceblanks", "incappendhistory", "interactivecomments", "promptsubst", "correct" and "nobeep".
For further configuration details consult zsh's man pages.
INVOCATION
Fizsh is meant to be invoked without options and without command-line arguments.
The only supported command-line options are "--version", "--help", "--login", "--reinstall", "-v", "-h", "-l" and "-r". "--version" or "-v"
yields fizsh's version number. "--help" or "-h" causes fizsh to print brief usage information. "--login" or "-l" cause fizsh to be a login
shell. "--reinstall" or "-r" will reinstall some of fizsh's configuration files (see above).
If invoked with other command-line options and/or arguments fizsh will silently revert to zsh.
BUGS
There are no known bugs at the moment. Bug reports, bug fixes and other comments are welcome.
