Re^4: Modify a variable within curly braces (ASCII Sequence))

Personally, I'd do it this way: printf ("\033[4;%dHEnd Here $a\n", $a+=10 );, but that doesn't answer the OPs question.

Actually this helped tremendously! One of the side thoughts I had was how to increment the cursor placement from the reference just for that line without modifying the actual reference. The printf solution works perfect!

\033[4;%dHEnd Here $a\n", $a+10 );
### $a remains the same value, but this line is indented 10 spaces usi
+ng $a as reference

When I've done this sort of thing in the past, I've used a sub to generate the escape sequences: `sub at{ sprintf "\e[%d;%dH", $_[0], $_[1] }`. Then you can use something like `print at( $_*2, $_ ), 'here' for 1..50;`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
