Clear Screen in mingw

[Crashh]

Hey,
How do we clear the screen in mingw compiler? It may seem like a silly
question, but i'm a noob at programming and am unable to get this
right. I tried clrscr(), system("cls"), system("clear"). I also
googled and found this:
void ClrScr(void)
{
COORD a = {0,0};
DWORD nwrite;
FillConsoleOutputAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), 0x07,
2000, a, &nwrite);
}
, which didn't work. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

Usually not many people attempt to clear screen in their program,
because well, in modern terminals it wont make much difference anyway.
Even I haven't tried it on mingw but seems people at
http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=363202 have solved the
problem. See if that helps.

Cheers,
Shantanu
