How to change Cursor position in Console?

Question

I wanted to use Console.ReadLine(); in the previous line and make it display like that:

HeresomeText>(input)

Not like

HeresomeText>
(input)

Is it possible to do?

Answer 1

use Write method instead of WriteLine Method:

 Console.Write("HeresomeText> ")

in addition you can use SetCursorPosition:

Console.SetCursorPosition(int left, int top);

Answer 2

Absolutely - look at the various members of the System.Console class.

In particular, you want the SetCursorPosition method, but if you're writing a "fancy" console app you should think about the members for using colours etc too.

Answer 3

It depends on your previous Console.WriteLine() statement. Change it to Console.Write() which does not have the linebreak.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Console.Write("HeresomeText>");
    Console.ReadLine();
}
