clearing console scroll buffer?

Hi, Is it possible to clear R2 console scroll buffer? prin "^L" ;clears screen but do not clear the buffer

Hi Semseddin, SMB> Is it possible to clear R2 console scroll buffer? SMB> prin "^L" ;clears screen but do not clear the buffer Interesting. I've never needed to do that. When writing console apps (which haven't been many), I haven't made the screen scroll, so ^(esc)[J or "^L" has been fine. I don't think we can do it without access to the window itself, or a method provided by RT to do just htat. -- Gregg

system/console/history is the place, where you should look. This allows some more tricks, as replaying your session etc. . So

>> clear system/console/history

Unfourtunately this is not I was looking for. system/console/history holds the lines I wrote. But I mean that the window scroll buffer. For example I print some output, say 500 rows, then clear the screen with prin "^L" (and clear system/console/history, which is not the case) but when user scrolls window up using mouse-wheel or scroll bar, then old rows will be shown. There is Scroll Buffer Lines settings in Settings window on View Console. So I tought that it is stored somewhere in system object. By the way when I change this Scroll Buffer Lines setting buffer gets cleared

Try this call/show form system/options/boot quit :) On Fri, Jan 22, 2010 at 9:00 PM, Semseddin Moldibi [ Bircom ] <semseddinm-bircom.com> wrote:
