is there a way for echo (coordinate row, coordinate column)?

[nnnmmm]

i need to display about 50 rows of data
is there a way to do this with like some notions below?
like defining
channel A: as 1 to 40th column
channel B: as 41 to 80th column
echo channel A: 111111 or channel A:echo "i was here A:"
similarly
echo channel B: "i was here B:"

or
echo (coordinate row, coordinate col)
then
it would be like
echo (1,1) "i was here at top left"
echo (10,41) "i am here at mid mid now, tell me where i am gonna be, i will be right there"

You have two options:
- use escape sequences
- use space as a filler in your strings

This seems to me as X-Y problem. If you generate the 50 rows in sequential order, you can store the Channel A: rows in an array, and then show the array elements in the same lines of Channel B: rows:

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

rem Generate Channel A: rows and store they in an array
for /L %%i in (1,1,25) do set "ChannelA[%%i]=Channel A #%%i result: !random!"

rem Create filler spaces for Channel A: rows
set "filler40="
for /L %%i in (1,1,40) do set "filler40=!filler40! "

rem Generate Channel B: rows and show they in the same lines of Channel A:
for /L %%i in (1,1,25) do (
   set "left=!ChannelA[%%i]!%filler40%"
   echo !left:~0,40!Channel B #%%i result: !random!
)

Anyway, if you really want to move the cursor to any position in the screen, you can use escape sequences in modern Windows consoles, or use the technique described at Move cursor to *any position* using just ECHO command in any Windows version from XP on.

this batch shows 30% of data to simulate the possibility of using it
i can not get rid of the line numbers 3. 8. 17, i need more thinking for this.
i have to decide whether i use the batch without creating empty lines and putting some colors in them to help identify or not.
coming this much of the batch was already good, and the data sequential order display in this way was good,
thanks for this.

*use escape sequences , i dont know what this is yet, but i will try this
*moving cursor to any position --- time to time i went to and had looked at this from NirCMD maybe over a decade but i didnt see how, i will check the ...any position ..link

i got it, it was in the same website that showed how to change the color codes
i searched these words "batch echo cursor position escape"
this is going to be a SO wonderful day
thanks for all.
