Problem clearing screen

I know clrscr(); clears the screen, but for some reason it's giving me an error. Here's the context:

Code:

---

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  while (!(namepw())){
      clrscr();
  }
 
  cout << endl;
  return 0;
}

---

I'm using Visual C++ 6, and I included conio.h. Whats wrong?

Visual C++ 6 doesn't have clrscr, so you'll have to use system("cls") or use a loop to print a load of newlines.
And if I was you I would delete that post before Salem or Quazh reads it.
:D

FAQ If you look around FAQ somewhere FAQ then you should FAQ be able to learn FAQ how to write clrscr() FAQ on your own FAQ that works with MSVC++ FAQ FAQ FAQ.

-Prelude

You can add Prelude to that list as well.

I didn't mean to forget you had FAQ fetish as well Prelude.
LOL :) :) :)

FAQs turn me on, more people need to feel the kind of rush that reading a FAQ gives you. Besides, more people should read them so I don't have to type as much. :D

How much would the learning edition of Visual C++ 6 cost?

VC6 standard -> $109

It comes free with some books. It definately comes with Deitel and Deitels C++ How to Program. That books about £30 in the UK.

Well I should hope so, I bought both Stroustrup and Petzold for less than Deitel and Deitel. Either it's a superb book, or it's way overpriced. $72 American :P

Its both! Especially if you are a beginner. I didn't know it was that dear over on your side of the water.Its the only book on c++ my local bookshop stocks and its about £30 so thats what $50. For a good book and a good compiler thats not a lot of money. You wouldn't think twice about paying that for Quake4 or similar would you?
