I remember doing this in C++ and it worked but is this possible in D?

Its basically updating information in the console window without constantly printing new lines.

write(info, "\r"); stdout.flush();

E.g. with percent:

writef("%d%%\r", current * 100 / total); stdout.flush();

Have you tried it yet? The solution is basically the same, you just write out the carriage return character to the device.

I'd prolly put a width specifier on it like %3d because otherwise
if it was 100 percent then went to 99, the third digit wouldn't
be erased.

You also need to flush the FILE buffer, as C stdio will do that for you only if the string contains a \n character.

Thank you guys it works. Even with the percent sign.

write(sumincrease, "%", "\r"); stdout.flush();
