Clear Output Pane

[Kid Programmer]

Is there a method I can use to delete all the text that has been outputted using the
System.out.prin tln(""); method?

No in a platform-independent way. The simplest thing is to be happy with printing a few blank lines.

Okay. Thanks amigo.

Okay. Thanks amigo.

Yeah, keep it simple and save the fun and games for Swing...

You could of course "clear" the visible screen by printing lots of blank lines

[CODE=java]void clrscr () {
for(int i = 0; i < 100;i++) {
System.out.prin tln("");
}
}[/CODE]

Okay that could work. The user could just scroll back up but whatever.
