LOCATE FUNCTION

[Rich]

Hi,

I am a newbie, so please excuse the question. I would like to know if it is possible to use For/Next to increment the cursor location and print ASC character 177? Can you provide a simple example?

Thanks,

Rich

FOR I = 1 TO 10
    LOCATE 10, I
    PRINT CHR$(177)
NEXT

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. _CONTROLCHR OFF
2. FOR a = 1 TO 255
3.     LOCATE a MOD 25 + 1, INT(a / 25) * 7 + 1: PRINT _TRIM$(STR$(a)); ", "; CHR$(a);
4. NEXT
5. SLEEP
6.

Thank you for the examples and quick response.

S McNeill,

It looks as though your code writes over the top of chr$(177) and never advances across the screen. Am I seeing this correctly?

He is printing across the screen, columns 1 to 10

Here is vertical printing by reversing Rows with Columns

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. FOR I = 1 TO 10
2.     LOCATE I, 10    'LOCATE row (vertical) , column (across or horizontal)
3.     PRINT CHR$(177)
4. NEXT
5.  

BTW that's an I (capital i) not a 1 (one) they look allot alike!
