if any one knows C++ please help me.
I'm not using Visual C++ I'm using Borland C++, so I'm not sure if the code is 100% the same but you know how you can use the "cout" command like "cout.width(25)" and "cout.fill('*')" if you arent sure what this will do here is an example

cout.width(25);
cout<<"Hello";

the output would look like this:
..................................Hello
just pretend that the . are spaces this forum wont let me post a bunch of spaces in a row
if you used fill it would look like this

cout.width(25);
cout.fill('*');
cout<<"Hello";

then the output would look like this:
*********************Hello
What I was wondering is is there a way to do something like this with "cin" so you could have the user input something and whatever they type comes out like ******* like for a password or something?

position object MyFoot,object postion x(yourAss),object position y(yourAss),object position z(yourAss)
