Hi,
I have just finished a small java application but I would like to improve on
it a bit . I am trying to display some progress Information. Here is what I
would like the output to look like:

Zipping File: 14%

I would like to be able to change the 14% to its new value but all I seem to
be able to do is 14%15%16%......

is there a code I can Use? Here is my Class Definition:

import java.io.*;
public class ProgressStatus {
    private short currentPercentage ;
    private short newpPercentage ;
    public ProgressStatus(String displayText) {
        System.out.print(displayText+": 0%") ;
        currentPercentage = 0 ;
        System.out.flush() ;
    }
    public ProgressStatus(String displayText, long current, long total) {
        System.out.print(displayText+": 0%") ;
        currentPercentage = 0 ;
        updateProgress(current, total) ;
    }
    public void updateProgress(long current, long total) {
        newpPercentage = (short)((float)current/total*100) ;
        if (newpPercentage != currentPercentage) {
            //Update the new %
            System.out.print("\b"+newpPercentage+"%") ;
            //Update the Internal
            currentPercentage = newpPercentage ;
            System.out.flush() ;
        }
    }
}

I was hoping that there would be a "\?" available such as "\t" for Tabs
Any Ideas?

Thanks
