In earlier versions of c++, there was a function gotoxy() which could take me anywhere in the screen. Its available with borland compilers now too but not with visual c++ express. Is there any substitute for that.

Jump to Postgotoxy() was NEVER EVER a standard c or c++ function, but it was a Borland-specific function that started with Turbo C. No other compiler that I know of implemented that function.
See this to implement the function yourself
Jump to PostI don't know what window() does.
There is Windows API function, see thread:

Here's another useful Windows Console programming link, perhaps you'll find what you're looking for there: http://www.adrianxw.dk/SoftwareSite/index.html
