The [[CSRLIN]] function returns the current text row position of the [[PRINT]] cursor.



{{PageSyntax}}
: {{Parameter|row%}} = [[CSRLIN]]


{{PageDescription}}
*  The value returned is within the range of 1 to the current number of rows in the [[SCREEN]] mode used.
** In [[SCREEN]] 0 (text mode), the [[_HEIGHT]] function returns the number of text rows.
** In graphic modes, the number of available text rows can be calculated by dividing [[_HEIGHT]] (measured in pixels in graphic modes) by [[_FONTHEIGHT]]: '''''totalRows%'' = _HEIGHT / _FONTHEIGHT'''
*  In screen modes that support page flipping, the [[CSRLIN]] function returns the vertical coordinate of the cursor on the active page.
* x = [[POS]](0) returns the column location of the cursor.


{{PageExamples}}
''Example:'' A semicolon stops the print cursor immediately after the print.
{{CodeStart}} '' ''
  LOCATE 5, 5: PRINT "HELLO ";
  Y = {{Cl|CSRLIN}} 'save the row
  X = {{Cl|POS}}(0) 'save the column  
  LOCATE 10, 10: PRINT "WORLD"
  LOCATE Y, X 'restore saved position
  PRINT "GOODBYE" '' ''
{{CodeEnd}}

{{OutputStart}}




         HELLO GOODBYE




         WORLD


{{OutputEnd}}
:''Explanation:'' "HELLO " is printed and the semicolon stops the cursor immediately after the text. The [[CSRLIN]] variable records the current print cursor's text row in Y. The [[POS]] function records the current print cursor's text column in X. The second [[PRINT]] statement displays the comment "WORLD" on the 10th line of the screen. The last [[LOCATE]] statement restores the position of the cursor to the original line and column immediately after the first print.
