Yeah, I tried '\b' but it didn't work. Really, all I was trying to make was a "spinning" line, with |, \, -, and / looping so that it created the illusion that it was spinning. Now this might seem pointless, but there actually was a reason... I was getting sick of the disabled loop spitting out endless lines of code, yet I wanted a way to tell if it was still reading from the cRIO. Not important though. I might look at it more in my spare time (as if I have any now).
