I need to print over one line in a loop (Python 3.x). Looking around on SO already, I put this line in my code:
print('{0} imported\r'.format(tot),)
However, it still prints multiple lines when looped through. I have also tried
sys.stdout.write('{0} imported\r'.format(tot))
but this doesn't print anything to the console...
Anyone know what's going on with this?
In the first case, some systems will treat \r as a newline. In the second case, you didn't flush the line. Try this:
sys.stdout.write('{0} imported\r'.format(tot))
sys.stdout.flush()
Flushing the line isn't necessary on all systems either, as Levon reminds me -- but it's generally a good idea when using \r this way.
If you want to overwrite your last line you need to add \r (character return) and end="" so that you do not go to the next line.
values = range(0, 100)
for i in values:
print ("\rComplete: ", i, "%", end="")
print ("\rComplete: 100%")
I prefer to use the solution of Jan but in this way:
values = range(0, 101)
for i in values:
print ("Complete: ", i, "%", end="\r")
print ()
