How to clear the screen in Erlang on Windows

Question

I am using Windows as OS and install Erlang 16B. How do I clear the screen?

I've already tried :

clrscr ().

ClearScreen ().

CBS ().

But failed to complete every time.

(Maybe a very simple question, but I can't seem to find a solution.)

Enter the following command into the erlang shell. io:format(os:cmd(clear)).

And you go :)

The author of the following link / answer suggests using the io: format.

Write your own function call:

clear() ->
    io:format("\033[2J").
