A GRASSy shell script print’s out, by using g.messave -i (or similar), something like:
–%<—
[1] …
[2] “Some message…”
100%
[3] “Another message…”
100%
[4] “And another message…”
100%
[5] …
—>%–
I would like to have the % progress counter right after the message, in the same line and not printed in a new line. How is this to be achieved?
This is a bash shell question. Yet, what technique is there for a python script?
Thank you, Nikos

It might be an idea to add a new flag for this like "echo" offers:
echo - display a line of text
-n do not output the trailing newline

I am not sure if a new flag should be added to g.message.
Note that there is also
GRASS_MESSAGE_FORMAT [various modules, wxGUI]
it may be set to either
- standard - sets percentage output and message formatting style to
standard formatting,
- gui - sets percentage output and message formatting style to GUI formatting,
- silent - disables percentage output and error messages,
- plain - sets percentage output and message formatting style to
ASCII output without rewinding control characters.

That is a nice idea. I don’t know of course if others consider this as necessary, but I’d like to be able to compress further and minimalise the extent of "g.message"s in the command line.
