It's purely for show and serves no real purpose other than looks in my program, but I've no idea how to make a counter that will stay on one line, it just prints on EVERY line
also would like it to pause between number updates like sleep(.5)
EDIT: Fixed the delay issue.
local i = 0
while i < 100 do
i = i + 1
print( i )
sleep(.1)
end
for i=0,100
print( i )
end

just clear the screen each time and set the cursor position to where you want it to print. Just modify this clear function to the line that you want it on.
local function clear()
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,3) -- position 1 on line 3
end
Then do this..
local i = 0
while i < 100 do
i = i + 1
clear() -- added the clear
print( i )
sleep(.1)
end
for i=0,100
print( i )
end

print( i )
end
Where would I call that? after every print?
EDIT: Didn't see your edit

It gave me:
dltest:4: attempt to index ? (a nil value)

Make sure you have the function above the rest of the code. Lua works from the top of the code down.

Not working right, I'm basing this off of what a friend suggested, lets say I want this to print "Download complete!" when it is done, this is really confusing me for some reason >< not use to loops.
This is the non working code.
function dl()
local function clearDL()
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,3)
end
local i = 0
while i < 100 do
cleadrDL()
sleep(.1)
print( i.."%")
end
for i = 0, 100 do
print( i.."%" )
end
end
dl()

remove the clear function from the dl function
local function clearDL()
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,3)
end
function dl()
local i = 0
while i < 100 do
cleadrDL()
sleep(.1)
print( i.."%")
end
for i = 0, 100 do
print( i.."%" )
end
end
dl()

end
end
dl()
Everything is going black and then at the end everything prints out. in individual lines.

Tested and this should do what you're wanting.
local function clearDL()
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,3)
end
function dl()
local i = 0
for i = 0, 100 do
clearDL()
print( i.."%" )
sleep(.5)
end
end
dl()

To make an actual counter you could do
for i = 0,100 do
clearDL()
sleep(.1)
print( i, "%" )
end
Ahh he beat me..

If you don't want to clear the whole screen, you can remove the term.clear() and put a term.clearLine() after term.setCursorPos():
local function clear()
term.setCursorPos(1, 3)
term.clearLine()
end
Just in case there's something on the screen you don't want cleared :ph34r:/>/>

you should add a progress bar, it's quite awesome. I am just writing this now as I am at work and cannot test it but try it out
for i=1,100 do
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print(i.."%")
write("<")
for a=1,i/5 do
write("=")
end
for b=1,(100-i)/5
write(" ")
end
write(">")
sleep(0.5)
end
let me know if that works, quick question though, why are you just making it count to 100%? for effect?

I forgot to add a rounding down function on the for a loop and a rounding up function on the for b loop, don't forget that or your progress bar will change length
