Printing in the same line in Python is easy. In this video I'll show you how you can have Python print on the same line without space by using the carriage return.

I have milti thread which is printing two Dict I have to keep writing on first line from first thread Same for second thread , is there any way to work around to write on specific line.

[@FabioMusanni]

If you print a line, then go down and write the second line, it's not possible to go back up to the first line and edit that, if that's what you are trying to do. If so, you could maybe clear the whole screen each time and print the new two lines with the updated values. Check out my video about clearing the screen (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ7YZ6WjhbanasU) and see if that could work 😊😉

[@michaelerdstein5787]

Great video. I am just wondering if there is another method for this, that can do it to multiple lines. I am trying to make a text based graphing animation and I would like to override what I have done previously in the terminal. If you can help that would be great and have a great day.

[@FabioMusanni]

Thank you Michael. In that scenario I would use os.system('cls') when using Windows or os.system('clear') when using Linux. os.system() actually runs the system's commands and in this case it completely clears the console. You could then make little animations just by clearing the console and printing the next animation like the frames in a video. Don't forget to "import os". I hope this helps 😊😊

Thanks! For your vídeo. I have python 3.80 running on a Windows 10 . I use idle tk versión 3.6.9 but the code That you posted doesnt Work fine for me. It prints the characters one after the others. Thanks

[@dolasswapnildolas]

Well yes...this method does not work on Win 11 , i am using 3.9 and i have tried almost every solution..nothing worked. Are you lucky enough to find the solution ?

[@FabioMusanni]

Hello Oscar, as far as I know, the IDLE's interactive shell does not support things like the carriage return ( ). For it to work you should run your script in the command prompt/terminal.

[@genericgoon3748]

So how come your python does that but when I type the exact same thing, it doesn't work. Is it the versions?

[@jaylowe6952]

same for me

[@FabioMusanni]

Hello, are you using the IDLE's interactive shell or the command prompt/terminal?

[@sidubidu]

Hey, so this doesnt seem to be working for me. And it essentially just adds each new string on the same line, but at the end of the same line. So if i had 3 separate print functions, one with hello, the other with i am fabio, and the last one with: welcome to my channel, it prints, helloiam fabiowelcome to my channel. It doesnt actually overwrite the previous output. Im using python 3.11.2 btw. Is there a new way of doing it? Please help.

[@FabioMusanni]

Hello, it looks like the carriage return is not considered, which editor are you using?

how to overwrite input fuctions after printed

[@studiospan6426]

LoL i was actually getting my head cracked due to this problem , Thanks a lot Tip from me - if you just started in python never ask question in stack overflow their 15 yr. old kid moderators will start to demotivate you instead of telling the solution .

[@FabioMusanni]

Hello, thanks for the comment, glad the video helped! 😊 Ahah, I agree with you, why bother asking on stack overflow if you can ask Fabio instead or watch one of his videos, right? Just kidding 😂 Cheers 😉

The video is amazing, but I am creating a text-based game where the health needs to be displayed at the top at all times and other things below it. print(f"/health {health}", end = " ") print ("welcome to the game") The welcome to the game line should be printed below health and I should be able to change my health at any time

[@FabioMusanni]

Hello 😊 It's not possible to do that using this method. One possible solution is refreshing the whole terminal with the new values. Basically you clear the whole terminal (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ7YZ6WjhbanasU) and then print everything with the updated values straight after .

[@NT_Virus]

@@FabioMusanni Oh thank you very much sir.

[@TubbyFatfrick]

Good tutorial, but I have a question. Let's say that I'm trying to make a selection menu, using a list of several different values. How would I make it so all of the lines get overwritten at once?

[@FabioMusanni]

Hello, thanks for the comment 😊 This is limited to only one line, if you have more than one line to overwrite, you should clear the terminal completely each time and re-print the values updated. Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ7YZ6WjhbanasU 💪

Hi Atul 😊 This doesn't work in IDLE. For some reason IDLE ignores characters like " ", if your code was working in cmd it means that it was written well.

[@sin3divcx]

But can you do the same to delete the prompt of input function ?

[@FabioMusanni]

Hi Chris 😊 I'm not sure if I understood the question or rather the use case right. If you want to completely clear the screen I've got another video for that, if not can you be more specific about what you want to achieve?

[@sin3divcx]

@@FabioMusanni Hello Fabio,thaks for answering. My question is this: I run python scripts in Pycharm. When i use input function,the message prompt appears in console and i give some sentence,lets say. I want to delete this sentence from the console and message prompt,with some piece of code after the input function. I havent printed anything,so i cant use the carriage. Is it clear?

[@FabioMusanni]

I guess the best and easiest thing to do if you haven't printed anything to the console is, as I said before, to clear the whole terminal and then print something else. By doing so both the input prompt and the message entered will be deleted and your new message printed instead. Watch my video on how to clear the screen/terminal and I'm sure you'll be able to achieve this 😉

[@flosrv3194]

it doesnt work, still got new lines...

[@Just_Code444]

Bro how can i overwrite input messages as it isn't taking the end statement. Btw your video was very helpful.😀😀😀

[@Just_Code444]

sorry i forgot to add f" ".

[@FabioMusanni]

Hey bro! I'm glad the video was helpful! 💪😉 Unfortunately with the input you can't use this method because when you press enter Python automatically goes down a line. Maybe you could clear the whole terminal? Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ7YZ6WjhbanasU

[@danhood7874]

not working can :(

[@gilushh1098]

why not just use sys.stdout with ? import sys for x in range(10, 0, -1): sys.stdout.write(" " + str(x)) this will print a countdown from 10 to 0 in the same line. (just a quick example)

[@FabioMusanni]

I don't see any difference, there are a lot of ways of doing the same thing. Use the one that makes more sense to you. In my opinion, using print() is better because you don't have to import sys and I don't see any real advantage of using sys.stdout.write, which could even be confusing for a beginner. You could do the same thing with print(" " + str(x), end="").

[@e.borges2090]

Unfortunately, it does not work on latest edition of Python running on Win11....

[@FabioMusanni]

Hello, thanks for the comment. I'm using the latest version of Python too and it does work, where are you running your code in? In the IDLE's interactive shell?

[@e.borges2090]

@@FabioMusanni Thanks for your reply... Just the "press enter effect" that I could not get to work... When I add the to the line, it will not return to the first character on the line and overwriting the previous string. I hope that I managed to make myself clear... Thanks for your video... BTW, I'm using IDLE shell

[@FabioMusanni]

Unfortunately the IDLE shell for some reason ignores characters like " " (it's a well known issue), there is nothing you can do about it because it's not a Python issue. You should try to run your script in the Command Prompt and it'll work. 😊😉
