Re^3: seek() command on STDOUT

On *nix, you can probably use ansi escape sequences to move the cursor around (untested):

sub moveTo{  
    my( $x, $y ) = @_;
    return chr(27) . "[$y;$xH";
}

print moveTo( 25, 25), 'some text';

print moveTo( 10, 10 ), ' ';

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

As being suggested, I played with ANSI escape sequence a little bit, and made my program work as intended. Thanks for your help.	[reply]
