Hacky screen clearing through printf

/ Published in: C

A simple and hacky alternative for calling system("clear"); (which you really shouldn't use...). If you really have to get such an clear effect - use this snippet.

Although I realllly recommend using some lib to properly controll the terminal if you need such functions, for example ncurses http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ncurses or pdcurses http://pdcurses.sourceforge.net/ .

#include <stdio.h>
 
int main(){
   printf("\033[2J\033[0;0f");
   printf("\033[%d;%df", 0, 0);
 
   return 0 ;
}
