Print a carriage return in java on windows on console
I had the statement and it worked in the command prompt
System.out.println("This is Java"+'\r'+"That");and gives me output as
That is JavaThat means it works perfectly.
Note: I run it in Windows 7 with JDK 7 and simple notepad.
It is the problem of eclipse, it will take \r as a new line character and will print
This is JavaThatas output
By "Windows" you mean cmd.exe? And you want to overwrite to the line you previously output, right? Unfortunately I think you need to invoke this Win32 API somehow in order to achieve it
Maybe other Java gurus can provide better answer ...
If you are on Eclipse, you have to enable the control character option on the Console Window.
