How can I print a string to the console at specific coordinates in C++?

Question

I\'m trying to print characters in the console at specified coordinates. Up to now I have been using the very ugly printf(\"\\033[%d;%dH%s\\n\", 2, 2, \"str\");

Answer 1

void screenpos(int x,int y,char textyowanawrite[20])
{
//printf for right shift
// \n for downward shift
//loops through the rows and shifts down 
for(int row=0;row<=y;row++)
{
printf("\n");
for (int i = 0; i < x; i++)
{
printf("%s "," " );
}
}
printf("%s ",textyowanawrite );
} 

//this should work to certain extinct only problem is u cant go from somewhere like 4,4 to 2,2 thats the problem
