to print in Pascal

An #1 / 5	to print in Pascal Hye, As I can get that it always prints in the same place. Like the comand "gotoxy(x,y)" for the screen, but I want for the paper. Thank you very much for the help.

If I understand your request, the best you can do is use the printer's c/r (carriage return), backspace, tab, or writes of spaces to reprint over the same physical line of paper. There is no way to "move around" the printer's paper/sheet, though...

Markus Hum #3 / 5	to print in Pascal Shall it be some universal solution or can it be one specific for your printer model? If the second applies to you, get a instrunction-manual of your printer. Ask the manufacturer of the printer about it. It contains all commands (even graphics) your printer does understand. With this you have much more possibilities than stated in Mike Copeland's reply. But if you need a quick'n simple solution, use his. If you send a CHR(12) to the printer, it will eject the paper. This works on almost all printers. CR+LF is CHR(10)+CHR(13) or CHR(13)+CHR(10), I never can remember which way it is, but on the printer it should work in both ways. Greetings Markus

Declare var A : array [1..60] of string [80]; fill it with characters including overwriting with Move; then, when ready, print each line and move to a new page. It may be wise to fill the strings with spaces at the start of each page. FillChar(A, SizeOf(A), #32); for K := Low(A) to High(A) do A[K][0] := #80 ; may be quickest for that. Since Borland have not provided WriteS(S, ,,,,,) where S is the destination string, Str() will need to be used to output numbers, etc. -- <URL:http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/> TP/BP/Delphi/&c., FAQqy topics & links; <URL:http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/clpb-faq.txt> Pedt Scragg: c.l.p.b. mFAQ; <URL:ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/link/tsfaqp.zip> Timo Salmi's Turbo Pascal FAQ.

Michael All #5 / 5	to print in Pascal Also, if you're going to use the goto() command you must also consider the size of the window. Pascal counts its window size in characters. If the WinCrt window is used, I believe it's 150x80. Look at it like a spreadsheet of values. :)
