 Clearing the window in a console application


How can I guarantee to clear my window in a console application?   

    The following example demonstrates clearing the console window by using the screensize information passed back from the Windows API function GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo() to write several blank lines.

    Example:
    program Project ;
    {$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

    uses Windows;

    {$R *.RES}

    var sbi : TConsoleScreenBufferInfo; i : integer; begin Writeln('A Console Applicaiton'); Writeln('Press Enter To Clear The Screen'); GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), sbi); Readln; GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), sbi); for i := 0 to sbi.dwSize.y do writeln; Writeln('Press Enter To End'); Readln; end.
