It's still the same as what I posted earlier. A bit longer than it has to be because of all the ifs and comments. I like the way you used parameter expansion in your version, but your version didn't scroll right on my system - an ordinary terminal emulator running Bash 5 on a Debian Linux.
Here my currently final version again:
Only complaint now is that when the question is asked at the very bottom of the window the cursor still jumps to the next line, the window scrolls but the cursor jumps back to the end of the question. That can be avoided by using read -n 1 - as wisecracker suggested - but I like to use the Enter key to confirm.
Does it run the same way on your system?

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
