Hi I just discovered \r and \t
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- > cat(LETTERS, "\n") A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z > --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- > cat(LETTERS, "\r", letters, "\n") a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z > >--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- and \a as alert \b as backspace \f as form-feed \n as newline \r as carriage-return \t as tab \v as vertical-tab are there more of these escape sequences? Especially, Can I position the cursor at a specific column? I would like to do this to show progress in an analysis done with mclapply() on multiple cores and, preferably, display each core (7) at a fixed position in a line. Thanks, Rainer -- Rainer M.
