hi ansh, quester and anonymous thanks for the replies ansh: u suggested is tricky but it actually clear off the screen that what dont want to do that. As u can see spinner suggested by quester is quite good in the sense it doesnot clear off the screen. So if u just replace \b with \n it will print in separate lines. But with \b it is printing on same line. quester: this is what I wanted. But ethically i cant use ur code so I need to solve my problem. for example in ur code u replace \b with \n it print in separate line. This is what happening with my dots. But if u keep \b in ur code it prints -\/ in same line and "overwriting" it at same place.I dont understand ur code well. ALSO please can u explain ur code explicitly as exactly whats happening. I am somewhat slow :-( Thanks to anonymous also	[reply]
