display an item at a specific location
In C, how do I print something at a specific location?
eg;
printf("XXX");
I want XXX to be displayed on the current line(not named), at row 22.

Which OS? If it is Windows then use TextOut()
Standard C++ provides no features for controling how output is displayed. In fact, standard C++ doesn't even assume that the output is going to am monitor, It coudl be going to a file, a com device, etc. So you have to resort to OS-specific and/or hardware-specific techniques to do this.
That is why we need to know what OS this is for--like gelbert asked.
If this is for a windows console program, you want to use WriteConsole() to do this. You also might want to see if your compiler has the non-stadnard gotoxy() function in its library. it is not part of standard C++, but many compilers do include it.

I wouldn't say most. I would say "Borland". I don't know of any non-borland C/C++ compiler that supports gotoxy().
