Cursor positioning

[Neil Edwards]

Is there a way to move the cursor to a specific location from the shell?

Thanks, Neil

Hi Neil:

Does a hog like slop? Yes, it's quite easy.

tput cup row col

e.g. tput cup 10 20 would move the cursor to row 10 column 20.

Man tput, terminfo for details. 'cup' --> 'cursor positioning' in terminfo speak.

Regards, Clay

Sorry..

cursor on line 10, column 20

tput cup 10 20

Take a look at 'tput' command.
# man tput
