This is what I do - the output of my script:
When a user enters an answer other than Y, y, N, n or <Enter> - for example 'z' above - then the cursor is supposed to stay where it is until an acceptable answer comes.
That has to work everywhere on the screen.
The problem I had was that the carriage return moved the cursor to the next line, one line below the question. I first fixed it for everywhere except the last line of the window and that's when I posted my original question.
This version works for me now:
Could be condensed a bit but this is easier to read.
It works here. Does it work on your system?
I want to get the screen width and cursor positions.
When I used curses, all the screen content was cleared.
So Can I use curses to get the screen size without clearing anything in the window?
Or is there any other alternative???
I can use only C or C++. (0 Replies)

I need to get the cursor position, and put it inside a variable. Problem is, i don't have the tput command, or ncurses.
Apparently I was supposed to try the following:
echo -e '\E
But I don't get a value or anything. Please help. (3 Replies)
Hi there.
It's easier to explain this with a pseudo code, I hope this makes sense:
var1=hello
echo $var1
some kind of loop
echo loop counter
done
How do I hold the cursor position immediately behind the last output so I'd get something like:

curs_deleteln(3CURSES) Curses Library Functions curs_deleteln(3CURSES)NAME
curs_deleteln, deleteln, wdeleteln, insdelln, winsdelln, insertln, winsertln - delete and insert lines in a curses window
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
#include <curses.h>
int deleteln(void);
int wdeleteln(WINDOW *win);
int insdelln(int n);
int winsdelln(WINDOW *win, int n);
int insertln(void);
int winsertln(WINDOW *win);
DESCRIPTION
With the deleteln() and wdeleteln() routines, the line under the cursor in the window is deleted; all lines below the current line are
moved up one line. The bottom line of the window is cleared. The cursor position does not change. This does not imply use of a hardware
delete line feature.
With the insdelln() and winsdelln() routines, for positive n, insert n lines into the specified window above the current line. The n bot-
tom lines are lost. For negative n, delete n lines (starting with the one under the cursor), and move the remaining lines up. The bottom n
lines are cleared. The current cursor position remains the same.
With the insertln() and insertln() routines, a blank line is inserted above the current line and the bottom line is lost. This does not
imply use of a hardware insert line feature.
RETURN VALUES
All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.
