Hi I like to how can I display a string in a single line that replaces the previous string. The output that I want to achieve is something like this, 
   "printing string one" <--output in the command line

[download]
where "one" will be replaced by a diffrent string and not adding another line which looks like this, 
   "printing string one"
   "printing string two"
   "printing string three"

[download]
I ask this question because I have a program which process files in a drive/directory and prompt user which file it is currently processing. Problem is it displays too much line in the command line which is very confusing when processing large quantity of files. Any ideas how to achieve this? Thanks..
