Clearing the console window?

[Sc0rp]

How would I go about clearing the console window of my app without just looping and filling the whole screen with spaces?

[crptcblade]

I believe :

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    system("cls");
    return 0;
} 

will work

[Sc0rp]

Thanks, that worked.

BTW, how did you make the code say "PHP"?
Is there a way to make it C\C++ or VB?

[crptcblade]

For the little I use them, I do C/C++ code in [ PHP ][ /PHP ] tags (without the spaces) and for VB code in the [ vbcode ][ /vbcode ] tags (without the spaces)

If you are using borland, they have a function called clrscr(), which will clear the screen.

Note that this function is not part of the ANSI standard.

[Sc0rp]

I used system("cls") since I try to stick to the ANSI standard.

BTW, isn't this command system-dependent?

[Megatron]

Yes.
