I am trying to write a counter that uses the format "processing subject ### of 123", where the ### changes in the command window upon every subject change. I know this could be accomplished in a loop with something like
fprintf('processing subject 000 of 123') for number in 1:123 fprintf('\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b%s of 123',subnum(number)) % subnum is a 3-digit number in character form to preserve the 3-digit format declared elsewhere
end
But that is ugly and terribly inefficient. How do I rectify the problem?
