Clearing a line in the console

Question

How can a line in the console be cleared in C#?

I know how to place the cursor at the beginning of a line:

Console.SetCursorPosition(0, Console.CursorTop         


        

Answer 1

Once the last space of a console buffer row is used, the console cursor automatically jumps to the next line.

1. Reset cursor back to the beginning before it reaches edge of console
2. Erase old console output, placing cursor on next line

3. Reset cursor back onto the line that was just cleared

   while (true)
   {
     Console.Write(".");
     if (Console.CursorLeft + 1 >= Console.BufferWidth)
     {
       Console.SetCursorPosition(0, Console.CursorTop);
       Console.Write(Enumerable.Repeat(' ', Console.BufferWidth).ToArray());
       Console.SetCursorPosition(0, Console.CursorTop - 1);
     }
   
     if (Console.KeyAvailable)
       break;
   }
