Console cursor position control

[jmClifford]

Hi. I would like to control the position of the cursor on the console display of my Perl_Eclipse_IDE. When I, print "Input command: "; then the cursor needs to be at the end of this outputted string, and not where I stopped typing on a previous input.

Regards JC.....

Your IDE needs to run your program in a terminal emulation for that.

If that's not possible you may consider hacking a special test mode.

Redirecting STDIN/STDOUT to a console/terminal subprocess, while keeping STDERR and process control inside your IDE's mainprocess.

I think (?) I did this in the past from within Emacs, but I can't find it anymore.

Hope I gave you enough feedback for further research on the matter.

I've not used EPIC for a long, long time... some 3 countries ago, but

Something to consider is whether your terminal is raw or cooked.
Have a google around and be sure you aren't getting some magic from your 'terminal'.
Think of things like Terminal::Control
