You can use the following function to extract current cursor position in a simple array:

extract_current_cursor_position () {

    export $1

    exec < /dev/tty

    oldstty=$(stty -g)

    stty raw -echo min 0

    echo -en "033[6n" > /dev/tty

    IFS=';' read -r -d R -a pos

    stty $oldstty

    eval "$1[0]=$((${pos[0]:2} - 2))"

    eval "$1[1]=$((${pos[1]} - 1))"

}

^{(the source of code used in this function was taken and adapted from this answer)}

Now, for example, to save current cursor position in pos1, use:

extract_current_cursor_position pos1

To save current cursor position in pos2, use:

extract_current_cursor_position pos2

To see cursor positions saved in pos1 and pos2, you can use:

echo ${pos1[0]} ${pos1[1]}

echo ${pos2[0]} ${pos2[1]}

To move/restore cursor position to pos1, you have to use:

tput cup ${pos1[0]} ${pos1[1]}

To move/restore cursor position to pos2, you have to use:

tput cup ${pos2[0]} ${pos2[1]}
