[CMD] How to delete text

[knize002]

Hello, i have a problem, im doing a little text-based game in command prompt, but i dont know how to make the text what was written before delete. Anybody knows how to do it? I attached the .txt file of the game, details in the file. And i need an command in style of "use this 100 times then go on with the next command" too. So if anybody knows, please tell me. Thanks

I didn't look over your file but generally speaking, you delete text on a character display by writing over printing characters with blanks.

What about CLS?

As a side note;

I KNOW THAT I COULD DO IT LIKE :
:b
echo %random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%
goto b
BUT IT WONT STOP IF I DO IT LIKE THAT, SO I HAD TO DO IT THAT STYLE.
IF ANYBODY OF YOU KNOWS HOW TO DO LIKE "WRITE IT 100 TIMES THEN GO ON THE NEXT COMMAND" PLEASE TELL ME

it is a simple FOR /L loop

FOR /L %%A IN (1,1,100) DO (
ECHO something
)

@jaclaz I dont know much about how the looping you described works, but i will find out, and ill try it. Thanks for help!

@jaclaz I´m trying to understand the FOR looping, but i dont know which parameter to use. It always writes me that the one i used wasnt expected

@jaclaz i found myself the ss64.com and i looked in cmd for help too, but i still dont know which variable to use. I couldnt find any list of them.

[knize002]

@jaclaz Ok, so i used %%i for the parameter and it worked. But can i somehow change the speed of it? I wanted it for the "Matrix effect", but its too fast. When i used the infinite looping :a echo ... goto a it wasnt that fast and it created the "Matrix effect" better. But it was infinite. So if i could somehow decrease the speed....

[knize002]

Ok, so i managed the "Matrix effect". I used the FOR looping, but i used less times in the command, and i stack the command so it went a bit slower. Like this:
FOR /L %%i IN(1,1,20) DO echo %random%....
FOR /L %%i IN(1,1,20) DO echo %random%....
FOR /L %%i IN(1,1,20) DO echo %random%....
FOR /L %%i IN(1,1,20) DO echo %random%....
etc.

Thanks for helping guys!

Well, you can introduce a delay between the execution of the commands, *any* command without a definite output to the console would do.

Usually a "ping to to self" is used, but to just slow down a little bit a loop, you can also insert another FOR /L loop

FOR /L %%A IN (1,1,100) DO (

echo %random%

FOR /L %%B IN (1,1,10) DO (

echo %random%>NUL

)

)
