Clear other than "system('cls')"?

[TheBeginner]

is there any other way to clear the screen other than

system("cls")

(I'm using Dev C++)?

bump

Search the forum. It's all over the place.
I really shouldn't have even responded because I hate it when people bump their threads out of desperation. I'm aware that that hatred is somewhat unrooted but it just infuriates me.

I eventually used this code, if that tells you anything. (yours, maybe? if so works great btw)

void clear_screen ( void )
{
  DWORD n;                         
  DWORD size;                      
  COORD coord = {0};               
  CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO csbi;
  HANDLE h = GetStdHandle ( STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE );
  GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo ( h, &csbi );
  size = csbi.dwSize.X * csbi.dwSize.Y;
  FillConsoleOutputCharacter ( h, TEXT ( ' ' ), size, coord, &n );
  GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo ( h, &csbi );
  FillConsoleOutputAttribute ( h, csbi.wAttributes, size, coord, &n );
  SetConsoleCursorPosition ( h, coord );
}

Advice: bumping after ten minutes isn't going to get you answers any faster. If anything, it'll get you them slower because people won't want to respond.

Thanks for the advice, I already learned my lesson.
