This is what I use to print out the data number that has been read in some code of mine:

<--------snippet------->
;----------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
; -- Read data panel by panel --
;----------------------------------------------------------- -------------------

bksp = MAKE_ARRAY( 5, VALUE = 8B )
IF ( NOT KEYWORD_SET( quiet ) ) THEN $
PRINT, FORMAT = '( 5x, "Reading panel # : ", $ )'

; ------------------------
; Initialise some counters
; ------------------------

n_panels = 0L
n_pts_read = 0L

; --------------------------
; Begin panel read open loop
; --------------------------

WHILE 1 DO BEGIN

IF ( NOT KEYWORD_SET( quiet ) ) THEN $
PRINT, FORMAT = '( a, i5, $ )', STRING( bksp ), n_panels + 1
....etc...
<--------snippet------->

The "$" character in the first print suppresses the line feed (dunno if it works cross
platform) and the print of the "bksp" array (containing the ASCII backspace character)
overwrites the previous print of the panel number. Again, dunno if it works cross
platform.
