Tk - insert characther to the same position ?

[MoshiachNow]

HI,

For the sake of progress indicator in a Tk text window,I'm trying to insert charachters at a fixed position,however the position does progress ,for some reason.

while {....

print "POS=$pos\n";
$txt ->insert("$pos -1 chars","$symbol[$counter1]");
$mw->update;
}

The $pos IS fixed,and still my charachters progress in the Tk text window ...
What is wrong ?
Thanks

Could it be that you're inserting characters at the one position, and they're pushing the older characters to the right?

1
21
321
4321

is it an overwrite you're trying to do?

Yes,

This was the case.
Solved it with addition of $txt->delete ...

Thanks
