Console App Clear Screen

[EGGMAN]

I am trying to write a simple console application that clears the screen. The standard ESC [2J does not work. What do I need to set to have it use ASCII codes?

Do samples of simple console applictions exist anywhere?


Module Module1

Dim X As String

Sub Main()

Console.WriteLine("HELLO!")

Console.Write(Convert.ToChar(91))
Console.Write(Convert.ToChar(50))
Console.Write(Convert.ToChar(74))

Console.WriteLine("HELLO AGAIN!")

Console.Read()

End Sub

End Module

This code returns:

HELLO!
[2JHELLO AGAIN!

try with this


Console.Write("Hello \r");

with \r you will remain in the same row

ms-help://MS.VSCC.2003/MS.MSDNQTR.2003APR.1033/enu_kbwin32sdk/win32sdk/99261.htm

gives you a sample in C, could be converted to C# or VB I suppose

One way.

This is simple and does nothing else than clears the screen:
