clearin the screen from a java program

[arun chakravarty]

hi friends,
i would like to know whether there is any command to clear the screen at
runtime from a java program. for example we give cls at the dos command prompt
for clearing the screen. i want to know if there is any similar command in
java and if so what it is and what is its syntax

thank you
arun

for (int i=1; i<25; i++) System.out.println("");

But don't waste too much time trying to get your DOS window to look nice.
That's what a GUI is for.
