[Spoiled_Kitten]

Hi all!

I wish to share the discovery i made for deleting the last line in the console on python 3, I hope this can help someone, any questions please redirect to me,

Thanks,

Blake

 

 

code:

import os 
import sys
import time

#last line deletion
def delete_last_line():
    "Use this function to delete the last line in the STDOUT"

    #cursor up one line
    sys.stdout.write('\x1b[1A')

    #delete last line
    sys.stdout.write('\x1b[2K')
    
    
###DEMO###
print("this line will delete in 5 seconds")
time.sleep(5)
delete_last_line()
 

 

The link to the github with the code and more is :

Why not just post the code in the forum rather than linking and posting random files
