cls in C

um how do I do a csls in C I might have asked this be4 but in that case I cant remember the answer and I cant find the topic anyway....

system("cls");
Read the FAQ.

Clearing the screen

cls only works in DOS-WIN, in unix is clear. maybe try something like this

Code:

---

#ifdef UNIX
  #define CLS "clear"
#else
  #define CLS "cls"
#endif

---

Then you just call, system(CLS);

I`m using a unix so I should use clear then?

if you're using linux, you can use system("clear"); or use curses to make the job, example:

Code:

---

#include <curses.h>

void clrscr(void)
{
    static int init;

    if (init == 0)
    {
        initscr();
        init = 1;
    }

    clear();
    refresh();
}

---

Or just convert this function from Pascal to C:

Code:

---

procedure Cls(Color : byte); assembler;
asm
 mov    AX, $A000    { move the video segment into AX cause }
 mov    ES, AX      { you can't load a segment reg directly }
 mov    AL, [Color] 
 mov    AH, AL      { REG / REG is faster than MEM /REG }
 mov    CX, 32000    { 64k / 2 since we're using word values }
 xor    DI, DI      { fast way of saying DI = 0 }
 rep    STOSW        { mov ES:[DI], AL; dec CX, jcxz done }
end;

---

It'll clear the screen filling it with a color.

you guys cant make up for minds eh?
