How do I clear the screen in text mode (cls)

How do I clear the screen in text mode (cls)
Thanks,

Clearing of console is an OS specific command, so
in case of Windows you should try:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cls");Though it wouldn't help, because exec() will be done as a separate
process... :)

You must have set it to use your photo stream as the screensaver. You can go into settings - screensaver to change to a different source.

Look to the left. There is a search field there. This question is often asked. The short answer is that you can't do it.

How i can clear the screen in JAVA?, in c++ is command that called .......

system("cls")
but in JAVA??
thx
gicio1

system("cls") is the silly way to do it. For a start, "cls" isn't on most computers, because most computers call it "clear". You could run this from Java using Runtime.exec("clear"), Runtime.exec("cls"), etc .. but the best way to clear the screen is still to print out N newlines, where N is the height of the screen.
The only problem with this way is, you don't know the height of the screen. You could pass an environment variable in as a system property, from whatever launches your program, and if it's not there "assume" it's 200 or something. Then just build up a string with "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"... and print it out. Blam, blank screen. :-)

How can i clear the screen???

yup! how can i d that before i print the content into the screen???

In Windows, you can use this configuration. Don't forget the changes in config.sys.
// The following line must be added to
// config.sys for clearscreen to work !!
// DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ANSI.SYS
public class ClearScreen {
public Test() {
    System.out.println("Hi How are you?\n\n\n" );
    System.out.println("Hi How are you?\n" );
    char esc = 27;
    String clear = esc + "[2J";
    System.out.print(clear);
public static void main(String[] args) {
    new Test();
}

How to clear the screen in the command prompt?

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering how we can clear the screen in the command prompt in Java. I remember we can do this in C by writing system("cls");
What is the best IDE for writing Java programs. Is the NetBeans IDE good? Thank you very much.

I was wondering how we can clear the screen in the
command prompt in Java. I remember we can do this in
C by writing system("cls");I guess there's no Java way of doing that because it's a function of the shell you're calling. If you try to use Runtime.exec on cls, it starts yet another shell, clears that, and closes it again, so it has no effect on your output.
You could try using the '\b' backspace character, if that helps.
What is the best IDE for writing Java programs. Is
the NetBeans IDE good? Thank you very much.By the way you're asking this question, the answer will be almost certainly "none". If you want to, you can search this board for the few million times this question was asked before, pick all IDEs suggested there and use the one you're most comfortable with.

Clearing the screen

I realize this has probably been covered before but how do you clear the screen of previous lines of code?
I am using Crimson Editor and the latest SDK and running programs in a DOS shell.
Please let me know how to do it, if it is a DOS command how to implement into my program and if a java method what the parameters are.
Thanks.

If you are wanting to clear the DOS window, there is no provision in Java for that. You could output new lines from your program and force the data on the screed to scroll off.
The DOS command to clear the screen is "cls" and you will need to use runtime method. Search the forums for that method, there are literally hundreds of posts on the subject. The search is in the upper right corner.

How do i clear the console

Hi Experts
I need to know "how do i clear the console " and
"how do position the mouse cursor in x and y coorditates in a console "
Thanks in advance

You don't. Or, it depends on the console. Depending on your point of view.
Java doesn't directly control it the same way that it controls an AWT window for example. It just sends bytes to it. If the console is capable of interpreting bytes in such a way to clear the screen, then it can.
Most consoles a person is likely to use will interpret VT100 commands. Look them up; try google. You can just output those commands and the console will do what they say, hopefully.
Sending a control-L (bye 0x0c, I think) may do it. Try that.
Or you can try the java curses library.
All this may be wrong if you mean something by "console" other than what I think you mean.

Hello Den53,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430?viewlocale=en_US
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Best of luck,
Mario

How Do I Clear the app download screen

How do I clear the app update screen after I have updated the apps.

TThe apps do not delete. Apple has not programmed this I to the system. Keep on letting them know that this clutter is not necessary. Everyone was used to the old system, update and disappear when done. I do not like the clutter myself. Keep on asking apple to fix this.

Does anybody know how to Clear the screen in Java?

Hi guys,In C we use System Clear.
In java,which instructions shall i use in order to clear the screen?
Thanks,in advance!

Of course you shouldn't do so anyway...
Terminal programs should coexist with all other terminal programs and not try to dominate the screen.
They should never clear the screen as this would remove output from other programs running in the same terminal.
