lets say u write some program which counts to 1000 and spams 1000 lines. then it ends. then u start a new program which does clrscr(); well, on my computer, when it does this clrscr(); it only clears the top half of the command prompt window-leaving the spam visible in the bottom half
I don't understand really your message, you say you run a program in console, then this program prints some line in the console, then you call another program witch contains clrscr(); but it doesn't clear the screen? well, did you try others options, check out the FAQ, and see "Clearing the screen" session.

Welcome to the wonderful world of implementation specifics. I suspect that your clrscr function just clears an area 80x25. If your command prompt is larger, it doesn't work. Furthermore, you're on a WinXP machine, and you're running a DOS program. The command prompt for WinXP is not DOS.Quote:

There are two command prompts in XP. 'cmd' and 'command'. They behave differently. Neither one of them is true DOS.
Quzah.
so is there no way to clear it? That hardly makes it seem like XP is some kind of upgrade.
Noobie, can you try system("CLS"); and tell me if it works? Maybe it'll work for you.
The problem is that you are using a DOS compiler to run a DOS program on a NON-DOS operating system. You cannot expect non-ANSI code to behave the same from one OS to another. It has nothing to do with XP not being a good enough upgrade. It has to do with you compiling non-ANSI code on an entirely different OS.Quote:

Yes,
system("CLS");
works
If I run this command on, say, Win 95, is it going to have a problem?
Not on Win95. But also read this .Quote:
