Thank you Xaqte.

I was just expecting a simple manner to use option on the command print , just to display on the screen ( like \n or \t or something else)

Hi,

Can you explain a bit more what you want? You're being a bit vague

Cheers

Hello Andy,

I just want to display on a scrren a message.
I want to choose the place exactly.

Example :


print "Hello \n"; I know \n means rc.

My question is : What is the options I can use to display this message at the column and line I choose on the screen.

I hope I've been clear.

Thank you anyway

Hi,

Still not sure I 100% understand you. You tried \t (tab)

This lets you format things a lot easier.

Cheers

Andy

I think he's wondering about character positioning in a terminal window. i.e. you have a standard terminal size of 80x24 characters and he wants text to appear at say column 10 row 12. Is that right?

Another way to think of it is like, if you've already printed stuff to the terminal and you want to reposition the cursor and print over something already there (i.e. to adjust an ASCII status bar, like...)

(before)
+----------------------------+
|####                        | 15%
+----------------------------+_

(after)
+----------------------------+
|#########                   | 30%
+----------------------------+_

where _ is where the insertion cursor is currently at. so you'd wanna reposition the insertion cursor so it can retype the progress bar and rewrite what the current % is at, instead of print() just continuing from the end...

There are ANSI escape codes that can reposition the insertion cursor, but not all terminals support them. You might want to look at the Curses modules too.
