Line clearing

[hypercube1]

i recently wrote a fight program in which you hit 1 to attack 0 to defend and i was wondering if there is a way to clear the line after it is displayed?

Set the coordinates of your cursor from new: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686025(VS.85).aspx
and write a line full of white spaces.

You can also print a bunch of '\b', but if you printed a newline, it won't work.

i am just a noob to all this, but wouldn't putting a:
system("cls");
after the [probably, maybe] cin>> statement work....?

If you are running a Windows computer and your anti-virus software does not complain, that would clear the whole screen.
