Many command line tools implement text-based progress bar. Like rpm installing:
installing ##############[45%]
the # grows with the percentage, while keeps itself in a single line. What I want is something similar: I need a progress indicator taking just one line, that is to say, when percentage grows, it got overwritten, instead of make a new line(\n).
I tried this:
#include <stdio.h>
int main (){
int i = 0;
for (i = 0; i < 10000; i++){
printf("\rIn progress %d", i/100);
}
printf("\n");
}
\r works to overwrite the single line. However, \r brings cursor to the beginning of line and printf brings cursor to the end, which result in a rapidly waving cursor. You guys can feel it by a little compiling. Can Anyone come up with alternatives to avoid this issue?
