Clear Output Pane

Kid Programmer

Is there a method I can use to delete all the text that has been outputted using the
System.out.println(""); method?

No in a platform-independent way. The simplest thing is to be happy with printing a few blank lines.

You could of course "clear" the visible screen by printing lots of blank lines

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 void clrscr () {

         for(int i = 0; i < 100;i++) {

                    System.out.println("");

         }

}

Okay that could work. The user could just scroll back up but whatever.
