Clear Screen in C using Dev C++

[REDBAIT]

Hi Guys,
Am using Windows 2000 and Dev C++ to create C programs. I'm trying to use clear screen and other graphic functions such as positioning output on screen. Have seen some documents that suggest i use curses.h or system("clear") for clear screen, for example but all this has failed.

You must use CONIO2.H header file to use clrscr(); You can get this from devpak.org in the text console category. Get the CONIO library. This will add the Borland Clrscr(); function as well as Dev Cpp's standard Conio.h header file.
Goodluck! =)

You can use the following C statement to clear your screen:

system("sh -c clear");

You are executing the sh shell program (usually /bin/sh) and having it execute the built-in "clear" command. You need to use the "-c" option to tell sh that the next option is a built-in command, not a file to be executed. See the man page on sh for more info.

The previous post assumes you are using Unix. On Windows, you can clear the screen by using the "cls" command; there is no "clear" command on Windows. I was able to use the following code to clear the screen (command window) using Borland C++ 5.5.1 for Win32 on Windows XP:

#include <iostream>
 
int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
    system("cls");
}

Use system("cls") including the stdlib.h in the begining of the programm...

See the example......


#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
main()
{
char name[10]="Deepak";
char pass[20]="Sharma";
char uname[10],upass[20];
printf("=======================LOGIN PANEL===========================\n");
printf("Username : ");
scanf("%s",uname);
printf("Password : ");
scanf("%s",upass);
system("cls");
if(strcmp(name,uname)||strcmp(pass,upass))
{
printf("\tACCESS DENIED\n\n");
printf("Enter a valid username and password...");
}
else
{

printf("\tACCESS GRANTED\n\n");
printf("Welcome %s, Happy to see you again :)",name);
}
getch();
}

please include stdlib.h file and then call system("cls") and enjoy.
#include<stdlib.h>

system("cls");
