hi
I've noticed that other dos and win compilers have conio.h that contains
code for clear screen. _clrscr What is the equivalent for Digital Mars?
Thanks in advance

#include <disp.h>

disp_move(0,0);
disp_eeop();

#include <dos.h>
void clrscr()
  {
  union REGS reg;
  reg.x.ax=0x0600;
  reg.h.bh=7;
  reg.x.cx=0;
  reg.x.dx=0x184F;
  int86(0x10,&reg,&reg);
  reg.h.ah=0x2;
  reg.x.dx=0;
  reg.h.bh=0;
  int86(0x10,&reg,&reg);
  }

You could rewrite this with
int86x/int86x_real and using REGS, REGS and SREGS...
Check bios.h and dos.h

The console window peepers can do it this way.

#include <windows.h>

void clrscr()
  {
  HANDLE hout;
  DWORD nc, ncw;
  CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO sbi;
  COORD home;
  home.X=home.Y=0;
  hout=GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
  if(hout==INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) return;
  GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(hout,&sbi);
  nc=sbi.dwSize.X*sbi.dwSize.Y;
  FillConsoleOutputAttribute(hout,sbi.wAttributes,nc,home,&ncw);
  FillConsoleOutputCharacter(hout,' ',nc,home,&ncw);
  SetConsoleCursorPosition(hout,home);
  }

doesn't it work like that ?
may be you just have to replace int86 by int86_real

how can I clear the screen for example I input first letter (A) and second letter (B) and show the result AB then after pressing enter it will clear the screen before it display again the Input first letter


Input first letter : A
Input second letter: B
result: AB
Input first letter: _

it should not be displaying the previous output like this... After showing the result it should be cleared the previous output before it shows the input first letter again...

You can use the display routines as declared in DISP.H
The code can be like this:

#include <disp.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main()
{
   char a, b;
   disp_open();   // Init package

   do {
      disp_move(0,0);  // top of screen
      disp_eeop();       // erase to end of page
      disp_puts("Input first letter :");
      disp_flush();
      a = _getche();     // read char with echo
      disp_puts("\nInput second letter :");
      disp_flush();
      b = _getche();
      disp_printf("\nresult: %c%c\n", a, b);
      disp_puts("Press any key to repeat");
      disp_flush();
      _getch(); // wait so that result can be seen
   }while(a != ' ');

  disp_close();
  return 0;
}//main
