This should be simple?!?!

[meteor]

Hi!

I want to make a kind of progressbar in dos?

Lets say when I read a text file I want the text in dos to be

"Opening text file... (5%)"

and the 5% should increase untill 100% when
thow whole file is read.

And only the 5% should be rewritten some how?

Use the "\b" character (backspace).

well!! I tryed this but it only shows the final resault 100%
and I want to be able to see every %

#include <iostream.h>
#include <time.h>

int main(){

double sec;
sec = 0.1; // the time delay in sec
clock_t delay = sec * CLOCKS_PER_SEC;

cout << "0";
for(int n=0; n<=100; n++){
if(n>9){
cout << "\b\b\b";
}
else{
cout << "\b\b";
}
cout << n << "%";
clock_t start = clock();
while(clock() -start < delay){} // the delay
}

return 0;
}

Insert flush onto the stream after you've printed the characters
