I don’t know if there is a standard way to do this, but in Windows environment you can do that.
I’ve never read from arbitrary location, just writing to it with the use of SetConsoleCursorPosition and GetStdHandle.
I Just looked on MSDN and there are related API’s to get the contents, such as ReadConsoleOutput. Here is the link to it: ReadConsoleOutput example.
Hope that helps
