Hi, can I know the coding for the below situation.

Basically, I want to ask the user to enter the desired data, for instance name. Then I proceed to ask the user to enter his age (between a certain range). The problem is that how do I prompt the user to reenter the correct data, while clearing the data that has been previously entered and displayed, and at the same time, make sure that his name is not cleared.

It goes something like this.................

Please enter your name: Jack Johnson

Please enter your age : 900

You entered over 100 years. Enter again.

Since data entered is not in the allowable range, prompt the user to enter again.

All I know is that only one command can be used to clear the screen, ie, system("cls"). But if I use this, it will clear the first line as well.

Please help.

Well, there are platform specific things that you can do to clear the console window. What platform are you working on?

Somewhere on this forum there is another thread on just such an issue on windows. I wrote a special function to clear all rows below a given row.

If you are on windows see this post. It is a function to clear the data from Row1 to Row2...
