I know I'm going to be bashed at for this, just please read at least this much before you start yelling at me to read the faq or thousands of other posts online.
Im having a problem clear screening for my school work since my teacher has a fetish for it working properly so I've spent hours reading trying to find something to make it work.

Here is a list of what I've tried to do, I use Dev C++ atm.
Hi Guys, Am using Windows 2000 and Dev C to create C programs. I'm trying to use clear screen and other graphic functions such as positioning output on screen. Clrscr and Getch in C. Clrscr and getch both are predefined function in 'conio.h' (console input output header file). Clrscr It is a predefined function in 'conio.h' (console input output header file) used to clear the console screen. It is a predefined function, by using this function we can clear the data from console (Monitor).
Aug 06, 2015 Display message and use of clear screen. Use Dev C 5.7.1 It is best. If having trouble to find it, send me your email id i will send to you. Assuming that you are in protected mode and not using the BIOS to write text to screen, you will have write directly to 'video' memory. This is quite easy. The text screen video memory for colour monitors resides at 0xB8000, and for monochrome monitors it is at address 0xB0000 (see Detecting Colour and Monochrome Monitors for more information).
-Tried Borland on my schools computers, clrscr() worked great but the compiler we had installed had hundreds of errors and bugs because of kids messing around with it. Its slow, annoying, slow to compile (plus our network sucks so it takes forever).
https://yellowmax511.weebly.com/zulu-dj-software-master-edition.html. -Found out about Dev C++, started using it, liked it, looked up a way to clear screen, found out most 'efficient way' is to output lines of 'n' in order to make a psuedo-clear screen
-Teacher didnt like how it didnt actually clear the screen (hed scroll up and go 'IT SHOULDNT BE LIKE THAT'), said to make it work or it would start to bother him.
-Tried using system('cls') again since i used it in the beginning of the semester before i found out how big of a security hole it is and how inefficient and slow it is (Not like im making any big project I just dont want to pick up a bad habit). Precision auto tune coupons chattanooga. Now for some reason the network sucks even worse and it wont let me use system('cls') just to get him off my back. We use Windows XP SP 3.
-As stupid as it sounds tried to figure out a way to use 'b' to overwrite previous text but for large scale programs it just a waste of time to try to get it to work right
Clear Screen C++ Console
- Tried installing Code::Blocks, installing the Borland compiler and trying to use Borlands library so i could use clrscr() without using the Borland UI, kept getting an error that 'unable to open cox32.obj' no matter what way to fix it i found online i couldnt get it to path correctly. I tried to create the config files to make it find the library, wouldnt work.
I really didnt want to make a forum post about it because of the thousands online, but I can't find any solution to my problem. If i could get help on making the Code::Blocks library to work with Borland or any way i could get system('cls') just to work on my schools computer (I dont expect to get an answer since you have no idea what the problem is, only thing i can tell you that it has no problem compiling the line of code it just doesnt actually do anything with it.).
Thank you to anyone who actually read through my rant on my quest to find a way to clear screen, if you have any input at all it would be very helpful and appreciated.

If your using windows system('cls'); should work just fine I don't understand what the problem is.
-->Definition
Clears the console buffer and corresponding console window of display information.
Exceptions
An I/O error occurred.
Clear Screen C++ Devices
Examples
The following example uses the Clear method to clear the console before it executes a loop, prompts the user to select a foreground and background color and to enter a string to display. If the user chooses not to exit the program, the console's original foreground and background colors are restored and the Clear method is called again before re-executing the loop.
The example relies on a
GetKeyPress
method to validate the user's selection of a foreground and background color.This example demonstrates the CursorLeft and CursorTop properties, and the SetCursorPosition and Clear methods. The example positions the cursor, which determines where the next write will occur, to draw a 5 character by 5 character rectangle using a combination of '+', '|', and '-' strings. Note that the rectangle could be drawn with fewer steps using a combination of other strings.
Clear Screen Command Dev C++
Remarks
Using the Clear method is equivalent invoking the MS-DOS
cls
command in the command prompt window. When the Clear method is called, the cursor automatically scrolls to the top-left corner of the window and the contents of the screen buffer are set to blanks using the current foreground background colors.Note
Clear Screen C++ Console
Attempting to call the Clear method when a console application's output is redirected to a file throws a IOException. To prevent this, always wrap a call to the Clear method in a
try
…catch
block.
