Overwriting text on screen

Post by Longlands »

Is there a way to print (or echo) to the screen in such a way as to overwrite text that has previously been echo'd?

For example, I am trying to sequentially highlight each word in a sentence.

I hope I've explained that sufficiently! :)

Thanks.

That was what I feared.

What would you suggest would be the best way to achieve it?
