Rewriting characters in the command window

Question

I want to output some characters in a C # console application and then rewrite them, thereby changing the characters in the position already taken in the command window. So, for example, I could show progress in percentages of 10%, 20%, 30% (but in the same place). How can i do this?

Answer 1

See Writing a String at the Same Position Using Console.Write in C # 2.0

• Console.SetCursorPosition Method
• Console.CursorLeft Property
• Console.CursorTop Property

Answer 2

If you type the character '\ r', the cursor will return to the current line, for example.

Console.Write("10%\r");
// then..
Console.Write("20%\r");
