You mean in a console application?
Try issuing the command "cls" I think in C++ you can do:
Code:
System("cls");

not sure tho


RE: Learning C++ - NiLSPACE - 01-23-2013

i already saw that but many people say it is unsafeTongue


RE: Learning C++ - FakeTruth - 01-23-2013

I don't think it's unsafe. The point is that it's only compatible with windows


RE: Learning C++ - xoft - 01-23-2013

It's as unsafe as running external programs can be - if someone puts a malicious cls.exe with your app, your app will run that instead of the system cmd.


RE: Learning C++ - FakeTruth - 01-24-2013

Ah, that makes senseTongue Didn't think of that, good one


RE: Learning C++ - bearbin - 01-25-2013

Hmm, maybe you could try some sort of "curses" like thing for windows.


RE: Learning C++ - xoft - 01-25-2013

If you're aiming just for windows support, then find an WinAPI call(s) to clear the console:

for anyone who wants to learn Lua, the mod Computercraft (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/892282-147-146-computercraft-1481-touchscreen-monitors/) is a realy fun way of trying to learn it.
i learned allot from it.
Sethblings programming tutorials are also very usefull (episode 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSsx4VSe-Uk)

You can compile Lua to standalone executable ;O Thats pretty awesome Smile


RE: Learning C++/lua - xoft - 10-07-2013

Actually that's the primary mode of distribution for Lua. It even has a plugins system that way, I believe it is called LuaRocks; you can download and install various packages for quite a lot of functionality - sockets, db access, xml parsing...
