Well im trying to put a blinking line after the text like in every text editor.
But i cant see how to the one right now gets to far away from the text after a few letters.

#include<iostream>
#include"graphics.h"
using namespace std;

void lectura(int x,int y,char cadena[100]){
	int letra=0,i=0,cont=0,place=0,s=0;
	char temp[1];
	char blink[1];
	blink[0]='|';
	blink[1]='\0';
	while(!kbhit()){
		setcolor(WHITE);
		outtextxy(x,y,blink);		
		setcolor(BLACK);
		outtextxy(x,y,blink);
	}
	while(letra!=13){
		letra=getch(); 
		if(letra==13){
			cadena[i]='\x0';
			break;
		}else
			if(letra==8){
				--i;
				cadena[i]='\x0';
				cleardevice();
				setcolor(WHITE);
				outtextxy(x,y,cadena);
			}else{
				temp[0]=letra;
				temp[1]='\x0';
				setcolor(WHITE);
				cadena[i]=temp[0];
				i++;
				cadena[i]='\x0';
				outtextxy(x,y,cadena);
			}
			while(!kbhit()){
				(cadena[i-1]>='A'&&cadena[i-1]<='Z')?s=10:s=8;
				setcolor(WHITE);
				outtextxy(x+(i*s),y,blink);	
				delay(5);
				setcolor(BLACK);
				outtextxy(x+(i*s),y,blink);
			}
			outtextxy(x,y,cadena);
	}
}
int main(){
	int gd=DETECT, gm;
	char cadena[100];
	int mx,my;
	initgraph(&gd,&gm,"");
	while(!ismouseclick(WM_LBUTTONDOWN)){
		delay(1);
	}
	getmouseclick(WM_LBUTTONDOWN,mx,my);
	lectura(mx,my,cadena);
	outtextxy(mx,my,cadena);
	closegraph();
	cin.get();
	return 0;
}

Anyone knows a better way?

There really isn't. The only way to get blinking text is using the ASCII escape sequences. And what do you mean it gets too far away?

Well for the first five six letters it is right where it should be beside the letter but after that it moves away like " " from the letter

[EDIT]NVM i didnt knew about the acsii sequence thank you sir
