Delete only one line in command window

[hzab...@gmail.com]

Hi,
I am looking for the way to delete only one line of the command
window.
If I use "clc" it will delete all output from the file so I have to
plot everything again.
If I user sprintf I need to know the exact number of \b I have to put
in order to delete.

the application is to write the console output in case of a double for

---------------------------
code------------------------------------------------------
for Counter1=1:10
disp(['Counter 1 (main) ' num2str(Counter1) ' of 10'])
for Counter2=1:10
disp([num2str(Counter2) ' of 10']) %I want to rewrite this
line each time. Keeping the Counter1 display.
pause(0.1)
end
end

---------------------------end
code-----------------------------------------

the output I want to achieve is the same as this one, but in my
application the "second for" is inside a function and I do not have
the information to display the "counter 1"

---------------------------
code------------------------------------------------------
for Counter1=1:10
for Counter2=1:10
clc
disp(['Counter 1 (main) ' num2str(Counter1) ' of 10'])
disp([num2str(Counter2) ' of 10']) %I want to rewrite this
line each time. Keeping the Counter1 display.
pause(0.1)
end
end
-----------------------end
code-----------------------------------------------------

Hi,

try this :

for Counter1=1:10

fprintf('Counter 1 (main) %d of 10\n',Counter1);

fprintf(' 0 of 10');

for Counter2=1:10

fprintf('%c%c%c%c%c%c%c%c%2d of
10',8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,Counter2)
pause(0.1)
end

fprintf('\n')

end

Thanks for the idea,

I was looking for some command like "clcl" clear command
line or something, but this also helps.

Thanx,

Haritz

Have you found, since then, any other way of deleting single lines or some lines in the command windows without using fprintf command??
It's only a few days since I have come back to matlab and I am writing sample programs to review m language.
I need to update two counters on two different, consecutive lines.
I am sure it can be done exploting the code up here in this post but I need some help.

Thanks in advance

I can't think of a single reason why that sort of thing would be
useful.

If you are running the same set of commands over and over then
write a script. If you run the same set of commands with different
parameteres write a function.

Hi Jerome,
why does this work, actually? What is character 8?
best,
Kim

Character 8 in ASCII is for Backspace. That's why it works.

Hi,

I use 'dispstat' function just for this purpose. It can update the previous output which is a missing function of default 'disp'. Very simple to use. It can be downloaded from here: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/44673-overwritable-message-outputs-to-commandline-window

***Sample usage:
dispstat('','init'); % One time only initialization
dispstat(sprintf('Begining the process...'),'keepthis','timestamp');
for i = 97:100
dispstat(sprintf('Progress %d%%',i),'timestamp');
%doing some heavy stuff here
end
dispstat('Finished.','keepprev');

***Output:
11:25:37 Begining the process...
11:25:37 Progress 100%
Finished.

All the best,
Kasim Tasdemir
