Hi all,

Can someone point me in the right direction here? I am importing rows using DBI and I just want to print the number of rows inserted, updating itself after every insert. I can get it to print like this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
etc

But I don't want a new line for each update, I just want to see a counter incrementing on the same line, and I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

Try preceding your output with "\r" - on many systems it will cause the cursor to go back to the beginning of the line without making a line break.
