Hi Samuel,

Thanks for your reply.

Previously I was using clc(linenumtoclear) for showing this effect in scilab, but i never thought of the mprintf, i was using disp that time

for i = 1:100
disp("Static counter : " + string(i));
sleep(1); clc(1)
end

I could not think using disp(). According to its expected behavior, it always appends an \n, while we want to stay on the line, what's the purpose of \r instead of \n, and mprintf() does not append anything to what it is requested to display.


it seems that the mprintf also kind of broken? as it needs 3 \n to get this result?


I do not think that disp() is broken. It looks OK, while clc(1) is bugged <http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16143>. This is why extra \n are required for this workaround using clc.

I also tried to look into the clc C source and see whether I could use the c code of clc in scilab api but no luck, but your example of mprintf which need 3 \n inspired me to look into the mprintf c code and see how it works.


Now that you know the clc code, please do not hesitate to propose a patch for its clc(1) bug ;-))

Regards

Samuel
