How to go up a line in Console Programs (C++)

Question

In C++ I\'m trying to go back up a line to add some characters. Here is my code so far:

cout << \"\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\xc9\\xbb\\n\\xc8\\xbc

If your console supports VT100 escape sequences (most do), then you can use ESC [ A, like this:

cout << "\x1b[A";

to move the cursor up one line. Repeat as necessary.
