copied!<p>No, not really easily, for that you'd have to use something like the <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/curses.html" rel="nofollow">curses library</a>, especially if you want to have more control over cursor placement and do more things programatically.</p> <p>Here's a link for the Python docs on <a href="http://docs.python.org/howto/curses.html" rel="nofollow">Programming with Curses</a>, and this short <a href="http://www.dev-explorer.com/articles/python-with-curses" rel="nofollow">tutorial/example</a> might be of interest too.</p> <p>I just found this note in the <a href="http://docs.python.org/howto/curses.html" rel="nofollow">docs</a> in case you are using Windows:</p> <blockquote> <p>No one has made a Windows port of the curses module. On a Windows platform, try the Console module written by Fredrik Lundh. The Console module provides cursor-addressable text output, plus full support for mouse and keyboard input, and is available from <a href="http://effbot.org/zone/console-index.htm" rel="nofollow">http://effbot.org/zone/console-index.htm</a>.</p> </blockquote> <p>I believe for C++ there is the <a href="http://hughm.cs.ukzn.ac.za/~murrellh/os/notes/ncurses.html" rel="nofollow">NCurses</a> library, the linked page has a section on <a href="http://hughm.cs.ukzn.ac.za/~murrellh/os/notes/ncurses.html#cursor" rel="nofollow">moving the cursor</a> if you want to poke around with C++. Also there's the <a href="http://www.bigwebmaster.com/General/Howtos/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/" rel="nofollow">NCurses Programming HowTo</a>.</p> <p><em>Long</em> time ago I used the curses library with C quite successfully.</p> <p><strong>Update</strong>:</p> <p>I missed the part about running this on a terminal/serially, for that the ANSI escape sequence, especially for a simple task like yours, will be easiest and I agree with @SvenMarnach solution for this.</p>
