How to print text on the same line ?

I want to print a sentence on the same line like

for i=1:100
printf('At %d', i);
end

So matlab must print

At 1

Then on the SAME LINE SAME PLACE it must print At 2. Now all it does is print

At 1
At 2
At 3
At 4

Or

   At 1 At 2 At 3 At 4 At 5

I want matlab to overwrite the number.

    for i=1:100
      fprintf('At %d', i);
      pause(0.1)
      clc
    end

That makes my program go a lot slower considering my loop iterates thousands of times

[KSSV]

you can change the value of pause....pause(yourvalue)..without pause, result prints very fast....

[Walter Roberson]

lastsize = 0;
for i=1:100
   fprintf(repmat('\b', 1, lastsize));
   lastsize = fprintf('%At %d', i);
 end
 fprintf('\n');

The output will come so quickly that you will not be able to see the intermediate values unless you put in a pause()

function dispProgressMsg(msg)

ASCII_BKSP_CHAR = 8;

persistent prevMsgLen;
if isempty(prevMsgLen) 
    prevMsgLen = 0;
end
    
disp([ char(repmat(ASCII_BKSP_CHAR,1,prevMsgLen)) msg]);

prevMsgLen = numel(msg)+1;

By the way, just to know the principle

 fprintf('testing x...');pause(3);fprintf('done\n');
 fprintf('testing y...');pause(3);fprintf('done\n');

will display

 testing x...done
 testing y...done

I have two files with similar data and I want to extract them into a file, and I also want to print the same line for the same data in the two files

Please help me

F1 = fopen('E.txt');

T1 = textscan(F1,'%s', 'delimiter', '\n');

fclose(F1);

F2 = fopen('G.txt');

tt2 = textscan(F2,'%s', 'delimiter', '\n');

fclose(F2);

T1s = char(T1{:});

T2s = char(T2{:});

[C,ix,ic] = intersect(T1s,T2s,'rows')

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%out Fiel :::

dlmwrite('R.txt',C,'%.6f');

I have two files in which there are numbers in the first column that are similar and I want to print the line that matches and differs in the number of the first column in the two files:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Fiel.1

fid1 = fopen( 'E1.txt', 'rt' );

T1 = textscan(fid1,'%s', 'delimiter', '\n');

%codes1 = textscan( fid1, '%*s%*s%*s%*s%*s%*s%s', 'Delimiter','|' );

fclose( fid1 );

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%Fiel.2

fid2 = fopen( 'G1.txt', 'rt' );

T2 = textscan(fid2,'%s', 'delimiter', '\n');

%codes2 = textscan( fid2, '%*s%*s%*s%*s%*s%*s%s', 'Delimiter','|' );

fclose( fid2 );

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

T1s = char(T1{:});

T2s = char(T2{:});

%Similar data between two files::

%[C,ix,ic] = intersect(T1s,T2s,'rows')

%Differences data between two files::

[B,ib,ib] = visdiff(T1s,T2s,'rows')

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%print output:::

fid = fopen( 'Similar.txt', 'wt' );%Print all similar lines

fprintf('%s\n',C)

fclose( fid ) ;

fid = fopen( 'Different.txt', 'wt' );%Print all different lines

fprintf('%s\n',B)

fclose( fid );
