I would need to read the .03, then the .8, and so on. I figure all
strings, cast to int (well, for this example, float). Would this be
easier if I learned some GUI programming? Can it be done at all in
just console?
It can but you probably need to fake it by storting the previous anser then
pre-pending the next character. You can do it by using one of the console
I/O libraries to delete the line and rewrite it - conio is one such.
In pseudocode
ans = ''
while not done
ch = getch()
ans = ch+ans
delete line
print line,
Hope thats enough to start.
Another option for a known length is to use cursor positioning commands
to move the cursor from right to left with each character.
Finally you could use curses, but thats just a pseudo GUI for consoles!
HTH,
