cscript - print output on same line on console?

Question

If I have a cscript that outputs lines tothe screen, how do I avoid the "line feed" after each print?

Example:

for a = 1 to 10
  WScript.Print "."
  REM (do something)
next

The expected output should be:

..........

Not:

.
.  
.
.

In the past I've used to print the "up arrow character" ASCII code. Can this be done in cscript?

ANSWER

Print on the same line, without the extra CR/LF

for a=1 to 15
  wscript.stdout.write a
  wscript.stdout.write chr(13)
  wscript.sleep 200
next

Answer 1

WScript.Print() prints a line, and you cannot change that. If you want to have more than one thing on that line, build a string and print that.

Dim s: s = ""

for a = 1 to 10
  s = s & "."
  REM (do something)
next

print s

Just to put that straight, cscript.exe is just the command line interface for the Windows Script Host, and VBScript is the language.

Answer 2

Use wscript.stdout.write() instead of print.
