Two newbie questions

[Sc0rp]

:confused:

1) Is there a way to print a character in a specific location on the screen (in a console app)?

2) How can I get a single keypress without using cin?

Thanks.

I think that you need gotoxy & getchar. I'm not sure, though...
sorry!

I don't think you have gotoxy with anything except Borland, and I don't recall seeing it in the standard.

[Aragorn]

oops, sorry.
I remember using it once, but i didn't know it was non-standard.
I thought it was in <conio.h> library. Isn't that standard?

[parksie]

I don't think so - conio.h is a DOS header (although there's a version for console programs). My copy of VC++5 doesn't have any reference to gotoxy.

What about getting a single keystroke?

[parksie]

getch() :)
