how to clear the console rust
To clear the console in Rust, you can use the clear
function provided by the std::process::Command
module. Here's an example of how you can do it:
use std::process::Command;
fn main() {
let output = if cfg!(target_os = "windows") {
Command::new("cmd")
.args(&["/C", "cls"])
.output()
.expect("failed to execute process")
} else {
Command::new("clear")
.output()
.expect("failed to execute process")
};
if !output.status.success() {
panic!("command executed with non-zero exit code");
}
}
This code checks the target operating system and uses the appropriate command (cls
for Windows and clear
for Unix-like systems) to clear the console. It then executes the command using the output
method of the Command
struct.
Note that this code snippet assumes that you are using a standard console environment. If you are using a different console implementation or a specific terminal emulator, there may be alternative methods to clear the console.
