Print to end of line in a terminal

[ndlarsen]

Hey.

This might seem as a arbitrary question to some. Anyway, I'm wondering
how I go about printing text to the end of a line in a terminal/console.
I've been googling it for a few days without any success. Any
suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Regards ndlarsen

Well, just print ${COLUMNS} characters. If you rephrased your
problem with more detail one could give better suggestions.

Hello again.

I apologize for not replying earlier but I have been swamped in work
lately. I appreciate your replies. Eventually I chose using curses for
"right-hand edge of the window" as it seemed to be the most suitable
solution.

Thank you.
