[Dev-C++] Console Output

How do I set the starting row and column when printing
in a console? Can this be done with printf ?

Thank You
Matt

You must use Microsoft Console API. Here´s is the code. You can find a 
description of the SetConsoleCursorPosition() and GetStdHandle() 
functions in the MSDN

//Positions the cursor at the (x,y) coordinates
void gotoxy(int x, int y){
    COORD pos;

    if ( x <= 1) pos.X = 0;
    else pos.X = x;

    if ( y <=1) pos.Y = 0;
    else pos.Y = y;

    SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), pos);

    return;
}

You can set first the cursor position with gotoxy()
in conio.h ant then printf()
