ANSI CODES

[mohdalibaig]

i am using borland version 3. i am facing problem in executing this
instruction for cursor control.
printf("\x1B[B");
instead of bringing the cursor down by one row it is showing <-[B on
the screen. why?

\x1B[B is only useful for cursor control if you are using an
output device that understands ANSI cursor controls. Whatever
you happen to be using doesn't happen to understand those controls.
ANSI cursor controls are not part of the C language, so to find
out what you need to do to enable them, you will need to
ask in a newsgroup specific to your operating system.

you can use whatever ide you like, but in order to get support for ANSI
codes you have to run you program under shell that's supports it, for
example bash

Will it run on UNIX gcc or dev cpp?

The compiler is irrelevant, it's the display device that matters.

gcc compiles, it doesn't run things. We won't mention cpp further
here. There is a separate Usenet newgroup (c++) for that.
