Im have a precentage indicator that (obviously) counts to 100%. At the moment it does so by adding a new line 1% 2% 3% ....etc I want it to display on the same line so I tried the carrier return function "/r". Although it prints on the same line, it seems very slow to update itself, displaying a percent every 20+ or so. Is there a better way of doing this. Cheers PS this is the line of code to print printf("Status: %.1f%% \r",j/244.0*100);

With Borland Turbo C++ 3.2? you can use 'gotoxy' to reposition the cursor every time you print.

what do you mean? at first it's like this? 1% 2% 3% . . . 100% and then you want to make it like this? 1% 2% 3% . . . 100% if it's true, then just use the printf command Athlon 64 2800+ @ 2.63 Ghz Stock Cooling Timings:2-3-2-5 V-Gen 512MB pc3200 DFI Lanparty UT NF3 Abit R9550 VGuru XTurbo 525Mhz/300Mhz
