[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Clearing to the end of the line...

mendozag@pur-ee.UUCP (Grado) (09/01/88)

   I am porting a program from the PC to the MAC and everything seems
 fine thanks to THINK C. However, I need a function to clear a line to
 the end after the cursor position.
   I know that with getxpos() and getypos() I can get the position
 of the cursor but I havetrouble translating that to line coordinates.
 I would appreciate any help I can get.

   Thanks in advance

	I had to implement a similar function when i ported gnuchess to
the mac. Just do a 
	for (i = getxpos(); i < 80 ; i++)
		cputs(" ");

	This is just off my head, so i might have got the syntatic sugar
wrong...
