CLS (clear) a single line?

Question

Is there any way to CLS a single line of output? I don\'t believe there are any switches for CLS, so maybe a better question would be:

Answer 1

If you only need to move the cursor in one line (like your sample),
it's possible with a carriage return character.

@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /f %%a in ('copy /Z "%~f0" nul') do set "CR=%%a"
for /L %%n in (5 -1 1) do (
   nul
)
