printf() with control character
Hello,
I'm trying to write a rotational symbol in a CLI process, to report activity to the user console, using printf( "%s\b", symbol ); but I see the control character (\b) is been printed out instead of backspacing. Is there any work around ? Thanks in advance, Sebastián.

Re: printf() with control character
Backspace the backspace: "%s\\b"
