I'm thinking about a new approach for my core display, basicly as it should make aligments easier.
Issue i'm currently facing, is tput cup capable of printing on the current line?
My best achievements were:
Alot better was (but still not working/acceptable):
But that is taking the line number of the bash history, not of the terminal.
However, once screwed up, the which-line-nr-alignemnt seems to be fitting... somehow...
Fill a variable with such output, and print that then, doesnt work too well either, ouput jumps to lline 0.
So basicly my question is, how to figure out on which line of the current terminal i am?
And then just print on that, using the aligment of tput?
To my eyes it doesnt look like such a 'task' was thought of/is supported?
Any ideas/thoughts where or what i might head for digging?
Thank you in advance

Addition:
I was hopeing to avoid 'short lines' if any escaped chars (such as colors... ) are/were beeing passed/printed.
No surprise as echo is a bash builtin, whereas tput is an external command that need process creation every time it is run... I find a factor of about 40 if I compare the two.
Hehe, its just, tui-echo never ever used "echo", its always been printf.
tput, i only use/d to get columns/width
What i was saying, printing a 'full' line with the escaped sequence, is still faster than printf, which calculates emptry string and prints them.
Now i only need to print empty strings for the background of the title and header, otherwise there is no 'full-color' background.
Still needs some finetuning, but general handling (align up to 3 variables, or split them according to their lenght/terminal width) is already faster, and lots easier to align.
Was almost asking for help when i had the situation of the screenshot.
A great thing is, the center strings are not more centered than previously.
Good evening

Hi,
how can i print the previous, current and next line using sed?
current line is the matching line.
The following prints all lines containing 'Failure' and also the immediate next line
cat $file | sed -n -e '/Failure/{N;p;}'
Now, i also want to print the previous line too.
Thanks,... (8 Replies)
