Is there a way to check which char is at a given position in the console window? For example if I want to check if there's an asterisk (*) at position (10, 12), how do I do that? Or if I use move(10, 12);, how do I check which char is at the current cursor position? I'm using c.

1It's OS/Platform specific. Which OS/Platform are you using ? Edit your question and make that clear. – Jabberwocky Mar 17 '16 at 09:50

2Portably, no. There may be platfrom-specific solutions however, using e.g. ncurses or Windows APIs. – Jonathon Reinhart Mar 17 '16 at 09:50
