    ...ever typed 'clear' in a Windows Console to clear the screen, and simply got an error? I just compiled a 'clear.exe' executable with MinGW-w64, and I will share it if anyone wants it (I use Msys2 and Linux quite a bit, and I often type clear in a cmd.exe instance)

    What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

      Wouldn't it be easier to just memorize once and for all that the command is CLS? It's even shorter and faster to type... :doh:

        I forget. I also like the name 'clear' better (I just do. Don't question it)

            Nope, hasn't occured. Probably because it is "clear screen" everwhere I'm using it. Wouldn't a script/batch file be enough?

                Interesting. Makes me wonder what it's like to work as a software developer without even being able to remember such a short and simple command. Guess that Google is not only your friend, but your BEST friend forever??? :confused:

                              Agreed; an EXE sounds like overkill. Back in the DOS days, I used to have a whole collection of these...the one that got invoked the most is probably "tyep.bat"

                                The only thing I do with a Windows Console is wondering why we still use it... And it seems like a trend, MongoDB, Node.js, npm, Bower... They all need that stinking console! I prefer spending my time doing useful stuff instead of looking up and memorizing all kinds of commands and copy-pasting long paths and file names from my browser to my console (which doesn't even work with ctrl v!)...

                                Visit my blog at Sander's bits - Writing the code you need. Or read my articles at my CodeProject profile.

                                  I spend most of my time in the console. It's a dark place.

                                      The only thing I do with a Windows Console is wondering why we still use it... And it seems like a trend, MongoDB, Node.js, npm, Bower... They all need that stinking console! I prefer spending my time doing useful stuff instead of looking up and memorizing all kinds of commands and copy-pasting long paths and file names from my browser to my console (which doesn't even work with ctrl v!)...

                                      Just add Clink[^] and ConEmu[^] and many issues will be solved.

                                      What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
