in General Discussion edited January 2014
I would like to know how to do a clear screen example on



linux the command is: system("cls");



or devC++ on PC: system("clear");





also i'm looking for a way to expand the characters available like the triangle and double bared to draw a box on the screen.





Curious to see how powerful is Xcode compared to PC and Linux... ha. =]



hope some one can answer me.. and prove that Xcode is really an awesome dev tool even for C++ programs..

    It really has nothing to do with Xcode, but system("clear") will clear the terminal "screen". Bring up a terminal window and type "clear" (no quotes) to see it happen without writing a program.

    Xcode has nothing to do with Linux, just as Microsoft Office can't be compared to a microwave oven.

    What proof do you need? Get a free ADC account, download it and try it out to see if you like it.

    hey thanks for the reply! =] i'm really bad a wording things sometimes..



    I wanted to add that.. I own a powerbook 1.5ghz and have xcode installed and programming with it.



    I'm also running virtual pc.. but even for coding. i feel its a tad sluggish espeically when i'm programming a game that refreshes the screen everytime i hit a key.



    i also noticed xcode didn't have a large variety of ascii characters by default. It would be nice to have access to the keys i mentioned above.



    i really perfer running and programming in xcode.. so i dont' have to boot up stoopid virtual pc. thanks .. any help with the codes i asked for on top would be great..



    i have tried system("clear"); and system("cls") in Xcode-C++ tool project. but both didn't yield a clear screen. just kept scrolling.
