QT Console application - go back up one line and add text to current line

[CybeX]

Hi all

I have been searching for this for some time, yet have had no luck discovering how to do it.

I would like to return to the previous line, and add text to it, a scenario with e.g. below

E.g.
When running make on some linux makefile's, I noticed the following:

checking file ...... done
checking file2 ...... done
checking file3-long name ...... done
checking file4 ...... done
//etc

This would be done with a similar & basic psuedocode concept (to my knowledge and understanding).

std::cout << "checking: " << fileName << " ........ " << std::endl;
runCheck(fileName)
std::cout << "done" << std::endl;

This will output:

checking: {fileName} ........
done

Is there a way I can add the done after the ellipse?

I recall reading something on ncurses, and a few other libs, but I would prefer if this can be done purely using Qt

Thanks in advance

Hi,

As silly as it may sound but wouldn't removing << std::endl from the checking line be enough ?
