Funny how the post diverged to an RStudio-related issue. Anyway, I posted a link to this post at support.rstudio.org: http://support.rstudio.org/help/discussions/problems/9242-cat-with-backspace-and-newline-characters/ >From the user point of view, the following behaviour still feels like a strange behaviour of the R prompt: > cat("abc\b\b\b") > c (with the cursor now position on the 'c') I don't know if there is a general official behaviour of prompt characters, but I think one expects the prompt to always follow whatever is printed by the previous R command, without corruption of the input line to be.
