✅ Fake loading bar

I'm trying to make a fake loading bar but it's not printing the bar in the same line code:

using System;
using System.Threading;

namespace FakeLoading
{
    internal class FakeLoad
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            for(int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
            {   
                Console.Write($"\rLoading : [{new string('#', i)}{new string('.', 20 - i)}]");
                Thread.Sleep(100);
            }
        }
    }
}

using System;
using System.Threading;

namespace FakeLoading
{
    internal class FakeLoad
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            for(int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
            {   
                Console.Write($"\rLoading : [{new string('#', i)}{new string('.', 20 - i)}]");
                Thread.Sleep(100);
            }
        }
    }
}

Why would it? you never tell it to reset the console cursor position

DidierThePenguin 🇫🇷OP•2w ago

how ?

Pobiega•2w ago

Explore what properties and methods exist on Console and you'll probably figure it out 🙂

DidierThePenguin 🇫🇷OP•2w ago

okay

Anar•2w ago

carriage return character (\r) moves the cursor back to the start of the line if it is an interactive shell from what I can see, the output window you have is "redirected" instead I might be wrong though

DidierThePenguin 🇫🇷OP•2w ago

I tried Console.SetCursorPosition(); to test but it does this

Anar•2w ago

so '\r' is ignored, anything you print is simply redirected to your console and printed sequencially yeah, looks like you indeed don't have a real console buffer attached you can test it with

Console.WriteLine(Console.IsOutputRedirected);

Console.WriteLine(Console.IsOutputRedirected);

should print true so the problem is not with your code, but with your environment
