Hmmm, I don't think it will work...
I made a little program in C, its code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
main()
{
int i;
printf("Line 1.\n\rLine 2.\n\rLine 3.\n\rPress ENTER to continue!");
getch();
for(i=1;i<45;i++)
printf ("\b");
printf("Line rewritten.");
}
So it have to do it:
Line 1.
Line 2.
Line 3.
Press ENTER to continue!
End if we'll press any key, it have to write:
Line rewritten.
Line 2.
Line 3.
But it wrote only:
Line 1.
Line 2.
Line 3.
Line rewritten.continue!
So, the \b is usable to get back in a line, but isn't to get back whole lines.
But try it, maybe only my compiler is bad. (I've used Digital Mars)
