I want to know if there is any way to copy content of a line from console window into string. For example
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main()
{
char a[10];int b; int x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3;
x1=wherex(); y1=wherey();
printf("Enter your name : ");
scanf("%s",&a);
x2=wherex(); y3=wherey();
printf("Enter your age : ");
scanf("%d",&b);
x3=wherex(); y3=wherey();
printf("Enter your gender : ");
scanf("%d",&a);
char copyline1[80];char copyline2[80];char copyline3[80];
gotoxy(x1,y1);
copyline1[]= ??? // What to do to Copy content of line 1 into copyline1[]
gotoxy(x2,y2);
copyline2[]= ??? // What to do to Copy content of line 2 into copyline2[]
gotoxy(x3,y3);
copyline3[]= ??? // What to do to Copy content of line 3 into copyline3[]
printf(" First line is\n");
puts(copyline1); // This will print Enter your name : abc
printf(" Second line is\n");
puts(copyline2); // This will print content of line 2 of console window
printf(" Third line is \n");
puts(copyline3);
return 0;
}
I want to copy content of line into string by giving line's coordinates , if possible !
char buf[70];
COORD coord = {x-coordinate,y-coordinate};
DWORD num_read;
HANDLE hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
ReadConsoleOutputCharacter(hConsole,(LPTSTR) buf,(DWORD) 70,coord,(LPDWORD) &num_read);
buf[69]='\0';
Content of the line is now copied into char buf.
