Reprinting a line

Hello All...
I am writting a program and I am using a count down in it and I was just wondering how I could rewrite a line instead of getting a new line every time a second passes.

This is the output I get now:
"Remaining Time: 10"
"Remaining Time: 9"
"Remaining Time: 8"
and do on

I would like:
"Remaining Time: <Have just this number change instead of a whole new line>"

Here is the count down code I am using:

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main()
{
    int count = 10;
    do
    {
        cout<<"Remaining Time: "<<count<<endl;
        count = count - 1;
        sleep(1);
    }
    while(count > 0);
}

Really Appreciate The Help!

You could try gotoxy(), more info in the FAQ.

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main()
{
    int count = 10;
    cout<<"Remaining Time: ";
    do
    {
        cout <<count;
        count = count - 1;
        sleep(1);
        system("CLS");
    }
    while(count > 0);
}

The CLS is a good (using CLEAR for unix)... that works but does anyone know or a way to do that without having to clear the entire screen?

Probably going against every standard known to man, but what about something along the following lines?

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h> //included for clrscr, clear the screen however you like
#include <dos.h> // included for sleep on my DOS compiler

int main ()
{
clrscr();
int count = 10;
        do
        {
        printf ("\r Remaining time: %i ",count);
        count = count -1;
        sleep(1);
        }
        while (count > 0);
return 0;
}

No reason you couldn't use cout with "\r" I guess, for some reason my fingers wanted printf.
