Erase and font

I have looked through a lot of books and still cant find out how to do these two things:

1)how do you clear the screen?(ie get rid of all the text)

2) how do you change the font size of the text?

real dos or console?

what?

system ("c l s")

header is <stdlib.h> i think
with borland its clrscr or something .
use the help on your compiler.

are you running a DOS looking window(the console) in windows? or is it pure DOS?

Dos in a window

from the Board Faq:

Code:

---


#include <windows.h>

void clrscr()
{
  COORD coordScreen = { 0, 0 };
  DWORD cCharsWritten;
  CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO csbi;
  DWORD dwConSize;
  HANDLE hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);

  GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(hConsole, &csbi);
  dwConSize = csbi.dwSize.X * csbi.dwSize.Y;
  FillConsoleOutputCharacter(hConsole, TEXT(' '), dwConSize, coordScreen, &cCharsWritten);
  GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(hConsole, &csbi);
  FillConsoleOutputAttribute(hConsole, csbi.wAttributes, dwConSize, coordScreen, &cCharsWritten);
  SetConsoleCursorPosition(hConsole, coordScreen);
}
