Hey there.
I've been googling around for a possible escape character to erase the last character printed. Now, I know that that's what the backspace character is supposed to do(\b), but for some reason, it doesn't work.
I can easily think of a (rather complex) way in windows, using the API which deals with modifying position of the cursor in cmd, but I was wondering how it could be done in *nix.
I'm currently on *nix, so that's my primary concern. I can't really seem to find any authoritative information on the subject.
All help greatly appreciated,
IceDane
