Ok after several messages have couted to the screen I have a lot of garbage up there, I know in TRUE BASIC there is a function called "clear" which clears the screen of previous information. I would like to do the same thing in C++ if it is possible.

Is there a function that removes text from the user's screen?

In Miracle C compiler... clear screen is ClrScr();...

you could write your own that utilizes a bunch of "/n" and then a wait() so the user has to hit return for the computer to continue...don't know of one per-se though

Jason's seems to be the most viable, ClrScr() does not work in any compiler ive used

I've used system("cls") before. Worked in visual c++ but not in codewarrior, might work in dev-c++
