No.

You will have to count the cursor positions of the data
as you output to the file.  This can be SOMEWHAT trivial.

\n = 10 -- New line but DOS doesn't reset to far left
\r = 13 -- In DOS it resets to far Left but in UNIX
                              I don'tknow the results.
character 12 is Form Feed -- New page for printers and
tends to clear the screen in DOS.  Unknown to me what
happens in UNIX.  In most text editors I think it is
displayed as a funny P like character or it may signify
a new line.

GOOD LUCK.
