C++，在 Repl.it 中清除屏幕

Question

I'm using a website, repl.it, to program in C++. I use the site because I often use a computer that can't download the software for c++. I'm trying to make a card game that display the contents of the cards on the console. I need to be able to write and delete information on the screen. The problem is that I don't know how to remove the written text. I tried: std::cout << "\\b"; But that was kind of didn't work. Can anyone please help me out?

Answer 1

For clearing the screen use system("clear") . Here is an example.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

int main()
{
  std::cout << "Press any key to clear the screen.\n";
  std::cin.ignore();
  system("clear");
}

I found a solution. You can use ANSI escape codes. Here is a website that can explain the basics http://www.lihaoyi.com/post/BuildyourownCommandLinewithANSIescapecodes.html It uses python but the codes are the same. To clear the screen: std::cout << "\"; This works on Repl.it. sanitizedUser answers works too and is way simpler. If you just want to clear the screen, I would prefer his method.
