I think it's something like this: (Fedora14/bash)



#!/bin/bash

for i in 0..10..1; do echo -e "$i"'c'
echo -e "nr"
sleep 1
done


But it doesn't work.
Purpose: like this, but without the "clear":



#!/bin/bash

for i in 0..10..1; do echo -e "$i"
sleep 1
clear
done


So a counting script that doesn't deletes the whole screen to output +1 number, instead it only deletes the line, where the counting is, so that there could be ex.: a beatifull "progress bar"..

          for i in 0..15; do echo -ne "$i"'r'; sleep 1; done; echo 


          You don't need ..1 for stepwidth 1 which is default.



          echo -n 


          prevents newlines.



          r is returning to begin of line (without newline - n), and better than my formerly used 'b' for backstepping a single character, unhandy, if you have more than one digit-numbers. Thanks to rozcietrzewiacz.

          • You can also just use one r instead of all the b's.

          Are you looking for something like this?



          for i in 1..10; do 
          printf 'r%2d' $i
          sleep 1
          done
          printf 'n'

          • Why the first printf?

            • I missed the '%2d' in the next printf. If it had just been for i in 10..1..-1; do printf "r%d" $i; sleep 1; done then you would have seen 10, 90, 80, 70, etc

            It would make sense if you were counting backwards from 10 to 1
