Echo at location...

[Woodman]

Win XP H.

Is there a batch program command which will allow Echo to display information on a specific line and location on that line?

e.g. Echo 12,15 %date% would display the %date% env variable starting on line 12 position 15.

Thanks

Not easily using built-in.  (see thread about ANSI.SYS) Addon programs can do this, like Extra Echo by Claus Juergen

You don't get ansi support in NT family command prompt under cmd.exe. But it is available under command.com. This may or may not be good news!

Definitely not good news.  Will have a look at XE.

Thanks again.
