i'm using a visual studio 6 on a windows xp os.. none of the methods in the FAQ work for this application, anyone else have any ideas
There are at least two options that will work there. You obviously haven't tried them all. There's actually three, if you count tossing your monitor out the window.Originally posted by digarren

No you didn't. You didn't try them all or you would have found one that worked:Originally posted by digarren

Option 1: You don't have conio.h so this wouldn't work.
Option 2:
putchar some newlines until everything is scrolled off of the screen.
You didn't do that, or it would have worked. See, we're only at #2, and already you have one that works. You just didn't feel like doing anything so you said you tried.

eh glad i could help.
Hey quzah!!!
your right, that would have worked, but i wanted something a little more proffesional, don't think i would have got a good mark for running the screen...but thanks for your input..as a first year programmer i appreciate any help.
This has been handled more times that I can remember.
Solution is in the FAQ.

When in doubt, read the FAQ.
Then ask a smart question.
