Ok, it didn't work at first, but I flushed the stdout buffer,cout&lt;&lt;flush;, between the two messages and I got it to work. &nbsp;Thank you, I've never seen the \r before.<br />

I want to write to the standard output, but I want to be able to write to the same area more than once.<br />
So if I have a cout&lt;&lt;&quot;message1&quot;, and I have more than 1 message, I want to be able to cout&lt;&lt;&quot;message #&quot; in the same spot in the console that message1 was outputted to the screen. &nbsp;I think I have to decrement the stream pointer to the stdout, but I'm not sure how to do it. &nbsp;Is it even possible?<br />
Thank you,<br />

I want to write to the standard output, but I want to be able to write to the same area more than once.
So if I have a cout<<"message1", and I have more than 1 message, I want to be able to cout<<"message #" in the same spot in the console that message1 was outputted to the screen.  I think I have to decrement the stream pointer to the stdout, but I'm not sure how to do it.  Is it even possible?
Thank you,

Writing to standard output in C++

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
