Hi,

I am using Jdk1.5 for development. I need to clear java console after
printing 100 lines of test on console. I tried below code it is
working for compiling java (.java) but it through exception
(IOException).

       try {
           Process dir = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cls");
           BufferedReader bufr_in = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(dir.getInputStream()));
           String readLine = "";
           if( ( readLine = bufr_in.readLine() ) != null )
           {
             System.out.println(readLine);
             while( ( readLine = bufr_in.readLine() ) != null )
                 System.out.println (readLine);
           }

       } catch (IOException e) {
           // TODO Auto-generated catch block
           e.printStackTrace();
       }

Above code throws exception at run time.

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "cls": CreateProcess error=2,
The system cannot find the file specified
   at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(Unknown Source)
   at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Unknown Source)
   at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Unknown Source)
   at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Unknown Source)
   at atm.Driver.main(Driver.java :52)
Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=2, The system
cannot find the file specified
   at java.lang.ProcessImpl.create(Native Method)
   at java.lang.ProcessImpl.<init>(Unknown Source)
   at java.lang.ProcessImpl.start(Unknown Source)
   ... 5 more

Please guide me, where I am going wrong thing? And how I can clear
console through my code?

Regards,
