[Praveen Bezawada]

Hi

tput clear
tput cup 3,10
echo "Enter your name"
tput cup 3,50
read input
tput clear
tput cup 3,10
echo "Hello"

hello is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Can anyone help.

Hi,

instead using the ',' you have to use a ' ' (space) to delimter the cursor positions.

Use: tput cup 3 50
instead of: tput cup 3,50
