Re: Where can I find the control codes for VT100 terminal ?

In a previous article, nma...@rowan.coventry.ac.uk (Mad_Mas!) writes:
: well, all you realy need is...
: 
: (esc)[Y;Xm I think...
: 
: so the program will look like this... 
:
: printat (int X,int Y);
: {
: 	printf("%s%d%c%d%c%s","(esc)[",Y,';',X,'m',"String to print");
: }

The sequence is incorrect, you need a 'H', not an 'm'.

Try the following function which does the same thing:

	void place(st, rw, cl)
	char *st;
	int rw, cl;
	{
		printf("\033[%d;%dH%s", rw, cl, st);
	}

In the above, the \033 expands to the ESC character (no need to type it
explicitly), and you call the function by place("string", 3, 6) for example.

Cheers,

Jonathon.
