Set console cursor position in Windows and Linux

In console mode the typical need for set cursor position would be to "update" data in the same fixed position creating a refresh effect. This requirement need to set the cursor in the same point every time and start print characters. Each new print will overwrite the old data and this will create the dynamic update effect.

Follow a ready made function for the the cursor position in console mode.

Code for Windows

void SetCursorPos(int XPos, int YPos)
{
 COORD Coord;

 Coord.X = XPos;
 Coord.Y = YPos;

 SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), Coord);
}

Code for Linux (please note this code will work in ANSI compatible terminal only)

void SetCursorPos(int XPos, int YPos)
{
 printf("\033[%d;%dH", YPos+1, XPos+1);
}
