Some sites say it's fine, while others say there are limits to using it on certain OS's and modes of the how the program is loaded. I would just stick to using API if possible. (Any reason you are trying to avoid API?) _________________ - Retired.

Clearing the console with API:

Code:

CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO pConsoleBufferInfo;
COORD cCoords = {0};
GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo( GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), &pConsoleBufferInfo );
FillConsoleOutputCharacter( GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), 32, pConsoleBufferInfo.dwSize.X*pConsoleBufferInfo.dwSize.Y, cCoords, NULL );
SetConsoleCursorPosition( GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), cCoords );

Code:

system("cls") //or "clear" I forgot which.

NOOOOooooooo! Hint: "sh: cls: command not found" or "'clear' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.". Yes, one of the reasons is portability, but you should guess what's an another one by help of this hint. Another hint: calls external stuff... It's a resource hog. W/e :P

Haha, diabolical.
