Hi all, time to get this echo started I suppose...

As far as I know, there are:

console.pushxy()
console.popxy()
console.gotoxy()
console.getxy()

... methods, however none of them can get the actual character?

I.e., go to (5, 10), and see if the character "$" is there on the screen.

Is this possible?

Thanks & regards,

I haven't tried doing that, but looking through the functions of the console object, I don't see anything there that will get a character from the screen.

So unfortunately, the best way to do that might be to keep track of the characters yourself..

Yes, I have been thinking overnight... probably the way to achieve this might be a two-dimensional of ROWxHEIGHT... almost like an off-screen buffer. Talk about a pain!

Thanks for your 2 cents as always.
