If you are talking in terms of rows and column, then also there is a confusion.
Can you please explain more clearly?

sorry for being so vague. Here is a better example. Input text is the following (where _ is a space and all elements are unique):

1_234
_56_7
8_9_A

Code will ask user what to move:

Code:

echo "What element to move?"
read element

Code will also ask where you want to move (row,column)

Code:

echo "Move element to which cell"
read x y

If desired move space is empty, grant move. So if I wanted to move 8 up one column, the output would look like this:

1_234
856_7
__9_A

Unfortunately, the input text is just a text file, not a table or csv.

I'm sorry if this is still vague.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

	       int y,
	       int x ); int wmove(

DESCRIPTION

       These  routines move the cursor associated with the Curses window to line y and column x.  They do not move the physical cursor of the ter-
       minal until refresh is called. The specified position is relative to (0,0), which is the upper left-hand corner of the window.

       Note that move may be a macro.
