How to clear screen in console application (C++)

[Saint Nick]

I can't find the command to clear the screen when I run the .exe that I compiled.

What command do I put in my source code?

 

[Ktulu]

system("cls")?

Windows: system("cls");
Unix: system('clear');

? There's probably a more elaborate way, but I'm not sure. Try this as well:
fflush(stdout);

printf( "\33[2J"); // Example in C/C++

That works for me under Linux/GCC. I don't know about Windows, but it should.

And this makes it do everything including return the cursor to the beginning:

printf( "\033[0m\033[2J\033[H");

Wow.... It's been YEARS since I've seen those ANSI sequences!
