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 Python 3, "print" is a function rather than a special operator. It takes an argument called "end" that specifies the line ending to use. 'Print ("This is a test", end = "\r\n")' prints the sentence with a carriage return and newline character.
To print without a new line in Python 3 add an extra argument to your print function telling the program that you don't want your next string to be on a new line. Here's an example: print("Hello there!", end = '') The next print function will be on the same line.
In Python, the new line character “\n” is used to create a new line. When inserted in a string all the characters after the character are added to a new line. Essentially the occurrence of the “\n” indicates that the line ends here and the remaining characters would be displayed in a new line.
\r takes the cursor to the beginning of the line. It is the same effect as in a physical typewriter when you move your carriage to the beginning and overwrite whatever is there.
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%") If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
