```julia
; clear
```
↑ It works, equivalent to Ctrl + L, but can’t be used in automated code.
```julia
Base.run(`clear`)
```
↑
It doesn’t work, at least window 10, powershell.(I never checked in linux terminal)
Do you know any other way to clc(not necessary elegant or simple, whatever just works)?

I think you want `Clear` with a capital `C`. See [here](https://linuxhint.com/powershell-clear-screen/#:~:text=How%20to%20clear%20the%20PowerShell,two%20aliases%20cls%20and%20clear.).

Do you mean this?

Bummer. I’m not on windows right now so I can’t test things out. Hopefully someone with more expertise can help.

You may try:
```julia
julia> print("\033c")
```

I’m not sure that’s portable.
I tracked down what Julia does on CTRL-L (and below in file is only implemented on Unix/Linux):

Probably works too on macOS, can anyone CTRL-L on Windows (and in WSL2)?
I suppose Julia can and should support same for Windows, and could export the function for programs to use.

I use this and it works, at least on Linux. I never had a chance to test it on Windows or MacOS
```julia
import REPL
terminal = REPL.Terminals.TTYTerminal("", stdin, stdout, stderr)
REPL.Terminals.clear(terminal)
```

I can confirm that it works on both Windows (running Julia in Windows Terminal) and Linux (running Julia in a GNOME Terminal window).

Great! But I believe that’s I think because Windows Terminal got “modernized” to use ancient Unix tech. 🙂 If you want to support older Windows or just not with Windows Terminal, that may not apply. But going to the shell, i.e.:
```julia
julia> run(`cls`)
```
should always run on Windows (but not on Linux, why it would help for Juliato add it as a cross-platform option), even in PowerShell: [Clear-Host (Microsoft.PowerShell.Core) - PowerShell | Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/clear-host?view=powershell-7.2)

Well, it works! and i totally agree with [Way to clear console in julia - #9 by Palli](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/way-to-clear-console-in-julia/86766/9) .

I checked only on Windows, but with CMD, PowerShell and Windows-Terminal and all worked.
