Curses allows you to do this with it's addstr() method. The second argument is the column position: `use strict; use Curses; my $win = Curses->new; for (0..60) { $win->addstr(10, $_, 'x'); $win->refresh; select(undef,undef,undef,.02); # sleep for less than a second $win->clear; }` [download] jeffa L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L-- -R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B-- H---H---H---H---H---H--- (the triplet paradiddle with high-hat)	[reply] [d/l]

This is probably a homework problem, so I'll just suggest that you look up the repetition operator in the perlop manpage (in the "Multiplicative Operators" secion), and just print out the corresponding number of spaces. There's probably a funkier WTDI, though. -- There are 10 kinds of people -- those that understand binary, and those that don't.	[reply]
