os / sys equivalent in nodejs?

[griimnak]

Essentially what i'm trying to do is clear the console after executing the app so it's nice and clean like i would with my python consoles:

in python, there's the os and sys module to communicate directly with your operating system, or emulate commands from your os etc etc.

how would i do this line in node? is there a module i can use?

os.system('cls' if os.name == 'nt' else 'clear')

I tried these:

console.log('\033[2J');

var lines = process.stdout.getWindowSize()[1];
for(var i = 0; i < lines; i++) {
   console.log('\r\n');
}

doesn't seem to work

You mean Console.Clear()?

Do you want something like this?

Very useful module, but sadly i don't see something there like os.exec or console.clear

console.clear() from here

You must be registered for see links

doesn't seem to work for me either

Make your own reset function

var reset = function() { return process.stdout.write('\033c') }

Worked like a charm
