Thread: Clear console trace

Hello all,

I'm very new in C# and need your help.

I have a 3 values to print in the console screen with the following position.

A

F

B

With cursor position I can get this result, but when I’m starting to move A and B to F and it is OK (at least it seems to be), but I want to remove the A’s and B’s trace.
Currently it works like

AAAAAAA

F

BBBBBBB

But I want to be like the example below:
each time the A’s and B’s position changes the previews char remove like
A

F

B

A

F

B

and until F.

Could you help me please?
Below is the code I have.

Code:

            char chA = 'R';
            char chB = 'B';

            string fin = "F";

            int posA = 0;
            int posB = 0;

            int finish = 100;
            //Print once only and keep the text
            Console.SetCursorPosition(finish, 1);
            Console.WriteLine(fin);

            while (finish != 1)
           {
                Console.SetCursorPosition(posA, 0);
                Console.WriteLine(chA);
              
                if (finish  ==10)
                {
                    posA += 2;
                }else
                {
                    posA += 1;
                }
                
                Console.SetCursorPosition(posB, 2);
                Console.WriteLine(chB);
                posB = posB + 1;
               
                Thread.Sleep(300);
                
                --finish;
    }

Thanks in advance

Well I have resolved it replacing with char = '\n'; with previews position.
Like this:

Code:

Console.SetCursorPosition(posB - 1, 2); Console.WriteLine(chB.ToString().Replace(chB, '\n'));

if someone needs to use it.
