How to clear the screen in java

Posted by CodeRed [send private reply] at May 17, 2002, 07:00:10 AM

Just in the console mode, I'm not talking about graphics or that AWT crap, I'm looking for something similar to conio's clrscr()

I don't believe there's a way, since you only have access to the console through System.out/err which are just streams.

just

System.out.print("\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n");
that should do it :)

Or
System.out.print("Press reset to continue");

LOL, I tried what AnyoneEB suggested but it keeps the cursor at the bottom of the screen, not good. I don't need it anymore though, projects already been handed in.

you could send the \n's and then a bunch of control-As (which on at least a vt220 terminal means up one line) to get back the top.
