Syntax

#include <conio.h>
int _cprintf(char *format-string, argument-list);

• cprintf formats and sends a series of characters and values directly to the screen, using the _putch function to send each character.

  The format-string has the same form and function as the format-string parameter for printf. Format specifications in the format-string determine the output format for any argument-list that follows. See printf for a description of the format-string.

  Note: Unlike the fprintf and printf functions, _cprintf does not translate line feed characters into output of a carriage return followed by a line feed.

• cprintf returns the number of characters printed.

The following program uses _cprintf to write strings to the screen.

#include <conio.h>

int main(void)
{
   char buffer[24];

   _cprintf("\nPlease enter a filename:\n");
   _cscanf("%23s", buffer);
   _cprintf("\nThe file name you entered was %23s.", buffer);
   return 0;

   /****************************************************************************
      The output should be similar to :

       Please enter a filename:
                              file.dat
       The filename you entered was                file.dat.
   ****************************************************************************/
