I need a Clear Screen Function for C++
Author
I am using Code Warrior which doesn''t have the function built in. So can anybody make one that I can use?
Thanks in advance for any help.
system("cls")
I think you need stdlib.h

for console applications i think this will be machine dependant.
however, under Win32 i believe: system("cls");.

try looking into the ansi codes, which will work if ansi.sys is loaded 
plus windows has api functions for that.

Theres always a better way to do it other than system (I don''t know why, but thats what I always hear experianced people say, and I trust them more than my biased ''commen sense'')
I think theres a function in conio.h called clrscr(), I''m not sure though...it might be stdio.h...

Okay,the system("cls") suits my needs fine, thanks a lot.
What are some other system commands? If you know any I''d appreciate if you gave some to me.

Any DOS command will work in that if you are under windows. Under linux, any shell command will work. Howver, as far as I can remember, system commands don''t work with WinSIOUX ... so if you are having a problem related to that, that is probably the reason.
