Console Screen update - Iteration Count

[karthigan]

I am writing a simple hardware test program in C that would run from
Windows command line.

Inside one of the loops, I have this code fragment that would display
the Iteration count.

{
....
system("cls");
printf("\nIteration:%d", i);
....
}

Since I have to clear the screen everytime I update the Iteration
count, there is lot of "FLICKERING".

Is there a better way to update the Iteration count without having to
clear the screen?

Regards,
Karthigan.

printf("Iteration:%d\r", i);
fflush(stdout);
