Arduino Yún console clear

Question

I'm having a problem. I want to clear the screen on the connected console. And after the clear, I want to rerun my code. But I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Below is some part of the code:

#include <motorStyring.h>
#include <Bridge.h>
#include <YunServer.h>
#include <YunClient.h>
#define PORT 6666
motorStyring mt;
int cm;
 YunServer server(PORT);
 const int pingPin = 9;
 int led = 13;
 void setup() {
 Serial.begin(115200);
 Bridge.begin();
 server.noListenOnLocalhost();
 server.begin();
 }
 void loop() {
 long duration, inches, cm;
 pinMode(pingPin,OUTPUT);
 digitalWrite(pingPin,LOW);
 delayMicroseconds(2);
 digitalWrite(pingPin, HIGH);
 delayMicroseconds(5);
 digitalWrite(pingPin,LOW);
 pinMode(pingPin, INPUT);
 duration = pulseIn(pingPin,HIGH);
 cm = microsecondsToCentimeters(duration);
 h();
 }
 void h()
 {
 YunClient client = server.accept();
 if (client.connected()) {
 String question = "What would you like to drink?\nyou have 4 choises:\n1)Juice\n2)Vodca\n3)Soda\n4)Mix\n";
client.write((uint8_t*)&question[0], question.length()); 
String response;
while (client.connected()) {
 if (client.available()) {
 char cmd = client.read();
 if (cmd == '\n') {
 break;
 } else {
 response += String(cmd);
 }
 }
}
if (response == "juice") {
 juice();
} else if (response == "vodka") {
 vodka();
} else if (response == "soda") {
 soda();
} else if (response == "mix") {
 mix();
} else {
 String error = "you didn't select anything that corrospond to an option. \n try agin";
 client.write((uint8_t*)&error[0], error.length());
 }
 String awnser = "Here is your " + response;
 client.write((uint8_t*)&awnser[0], awnser.length());
 }
 delay(1000);
}

...

Is there a way to clear the screen on the console, so that all of the text from the previous code is not disturbing the user?

Answer 1

Perhaps you could count the number of lines in the console and the print out enough carriage returns ("\n") to fill it with empty whitespace.

For example, with a console with 100 lines:

for(int iter = 0; iter < 100; iter++) {
 client.write('\n');
}
