    Question Executing shell/dos commands

    I've done a search but can't find anything on this topic.

    I'm wanting to execute dos commands from my program. In particular the "cls" (clear screen) command.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    #include <stdlib.h> or <cstdlib>

    system("cls");
