[Answered] Need help with clock

Hi there, I am making a Clock (Minecraft in game time not real life) for my server and i have a way to find the time and printing it but i want it to replace what it wrote instead of writing more and more, i hope this makes sense.

heres the code if you need it

function infiniteLoop()
while true do

local time = os.time()
time = textutils.formatTime(time, false)
print(time)
sleep(0.8)

end
end

infiniteLoop()

just try replacing term. with monitor. and running like normal. if that doesnt work add this to the front

mon = peripheral.wrap("right")

then replace all the term. with mon.
