Hi I am programming something and i need to use Hyperterminal to display the output, all is well but i am struggling for the right ANSI escape sequence to position the cursor to the beginning, i have tried various things including the following;
char pos [] = "\x1B[",'0',';','0','H',0;
many thanks
I'm not sure about ANSI terminal, but I know these work for vt-100.
#define CLEAR_SCREEN_LENGTH 4 //! \details String to clear the screen of a VT-100 termial static unsigned char Clear_Screen[] = {27,91,50,74}; #define HOME_CURSOR_LENGTH 3 //! \details String to home the cursor of a VT-100 termial static unsigned char Home_Cursor[] = {27,91,72};
see documentation in link:
// Clear screen and set cursor home void ClearScreen(void) { printf("%c[1;1f%c[J", 27, 27); } // set cursor to position (x, y) void SetCursorPosition(int x, int y) { printf("%c[%i;%if", 27, (signed int)y, (signed int)x); }
. BR, /th.
printf("%c[1;1f%c[J", 27, 27);
That also seems very clumsy to me - and surprisingly common!
Why not just
printf( "\x1B[1;1f\x1B[J" );
Also, if you consider code and speed consequences it's not at all efficient.
Many thanks for all your replies, its working now
