Puts overwrite line

ruby-talk
1

Hi,
I have a script where I want to print the same line over and over
(overwriting itself I guess you would say) without creating a new line
everytime. Basically so I can output a simple count tally of the number
of records my script has processed. Hopefully that makes sense. Is
there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Ray

You're probably goint to need console UI lib like Highline
(http://highline.rubyforge.org/\) or ncurses
(http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/ncurses-ruby/\).
