Here you can see ". hahahahahahaha" and "nononono" and even lineNumber is being merged into the same position. Why is this happening and can this be simply resolved?

Your string in "line" has a carriage return character at the end, which moves the cursor to the beginning of the display row.

If you remove this trailing carriage return character (0x0D) it will display correctly.

With the carriage return character in place, everything written to your terminal after the carriage return starts at the beginning of the row.

\u000D is a carriage return, which means that the terminal moves the insertion point to the front of the line, and writes "nononono" over the original text there. (BTW, you can just do \r instead)

How do you fix it? I don't know what your requirements are. I don't know what you are expecting.

It seems to be correct.
Removing the last element of the string got it resolved.
Might not be the best way and adding additional check for carriage return before removing the element would be better, so this is only initial proof.

Improved example with the above comments resolved.

That works, but consider using chomp() instead.

Chomp sounds kind of funny hahaha.
Who came up with these function names? Walter Bright?
Anyways, Chomp's way looks way more simple. Thanks.

Chomp comes from Perl.

Also consider strip, stripLeft, and stripRight. (Not because they may be funny but because they are useful as well. :) )
