How to control the cursor positon of java program in console mode?
I am writing a small database that requires user input.However, whenever something is output to the screen, the cursor stays at the beginning of the output instead of the end of the output.How can I let it go to the end of the output?For example:say, the output is like this:This is a database. Please input your information below.prompt:>I want the cursor to go to after the ">" sign but it stays in front of "this" although whenever the user presses the keyboard it goes the end after ">".This is not a big problem but makes my application look not so professional.Anyway to cure this?John

For example, no serious UNIX database would shipwithout a text mode admin tool.John, you probably need to add some more detail to your question. Whatsort of output are you using? An MSDOS window? A UNIX terminalemulator? The Eclipse console?What are you using to output your text? System.out.println()? Somekind of screen handling library?What are you using to collect input? System.in.read()? Theaforementioned screen handling library?

My input is scanner.nextline();output is System.out.print()System.out.print() or println doesn't make much difference since I can always add "\n" to the end of message.The console here is Eclipse console in windows xp.I haven't tried dos window yet.Not a big deal. Just not so professional.John"John Hartnup" <john.hartnup@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1177401819.303585.287130@u32g2000prd.googlegroups.com...> On Apr 24, 11:59 am, "Andrew Thompson" <u32984@uwe> wrote:>> John wrote:>>>> .>>>> >This is not a big problem but makes my application look not so >> >professional.>>>> Nothing in a console has 'looked professional' for>> around the last 2 decades.>> Don't be ridiculous.
