Is there an easy way for Ruby to print in one line, then for the next print, it prints to the same line from the beginning.
I am trying to make a simple file counter shown on the stdout while files are being generated. It looks like a rapidly updated number at the same position on the screen.
could use \\r..
while(true) do
print "\\\r"
print "|\r"
print "/\r"
end
Will print the char and then move the cursor back and print over it, making a little spinner like thing. Else you can look at something like curses.... (https://github.com/rkumar/rbcurse for a ruby wrapper)
You can try something like this:
print "Hello"
print 13.chr
print "123"
If your console supports line feed it should then replace the first chars and print "123lo". An example with a counter might look as follows:
100.times{|x| print x; print 13.chr; sleep 0.01}
If you're printing to a terminal-like thing you can use control characters, or curses. If you know how many items you're processing it might be easier to just make a textual progress bar, though, like wget/etc.
