Simple way to clear screen in console application?

[Au3Builder]

I built a console application with Autoit3. i don't know if it's proper way to make console apps... but the method i use apparently works.

 

Source of my app.

#Region
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y
#EndRegion

ConsoleWrite("Test app")

While 1

Sleep(10)

WEnd

code spoiler is not working for me... (can a moderator correct my post?)

Here is how i execute my app from CMD.

 

START "Autoit - console app" "console.exe"

 

Now I would like to perform CLS  (clear screen) but no idea comes to my mind.Will you help me?

Have you tried

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /C  CLS", "", @SW_HIDE)

Thanks.This is exactly what i was looking for.

btw. Would you mind explaining the difference between /C and /K is? I don't think it's mentioned in Autoit documentation.

Why would it need to be? it is a parameter of CMD.exe : https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490880.aspx
