You're giving it a string argument "18, 1", this function only accepts two number.
You have to put setCursorPos(18, 1) instead.

Btw, is your antivirus doing anything good?
It looks like it's just wasting a good minute printing #'s

Obviously, this is just for fun, since it doesn't DO anything, but that's why we have Computer Craft :D/>

Like anavrins mentioned, term.setCursorPos() only accepts two NUMBERS, not STRINGS
Numbers are just, well numbers, strings have quotes around them ""

term.setCursorPos("1,1") --# Wrong

term.setCursorPos(1,1) --# Right

Also, each time you redraw the progress bar, it's reprinting things it's already printed
(Sorry if that was confusing sentence.. couldn't think of a good way to word it)


It won't error, but it isn't very efficient.

You could do this instead:

term.setCursorPos(18,1)

for i = 1, 8 do --# Repeats 8 times. 'i' isn't used by our program, but it needs to be there for syntax
  term.write("#")
  sleep(1)
end

This will print 8 '#', waiting a second in between
