Here is my code

while true do
sleep(0)
  Progress = math.floor( writer.getProgress()*100)
  print("Writing... "..Progress.."%")
  if Progress == -100 then
	break
  end
end

Currently, it spams the screen printing the progress over n over again... can someone make it so it just updates the progress on the same line n such, thanks!
I just want it to clear the line (term.clearLine()) so i can have other stuff on-screen as well

Just clear the line with

term.clearLine()

or the whole screen

term.clear()

Or use term.write to write to a specific location and continously write over it.

while true do
  sleep(0)
  term.setCursorPos(1,1) term.clearLine()
  Progress = math.floor( writer.getProgress()*100)
  print("Writing... "..Progress.."%")
  if Progress == -100 then
        break
  end
end

Forgot to set the cursor pos! That's why it wasn't working for me, derp. Thanks!
