Function to clear the console in R and RStudio

Question

I want a function to clear the console in R and RStudio instead of a keyboard function, Can someone tell me any?

Answer 1

You can use the following functions to clear the console in RStudio:

cat("\f")

cat("\014")

Both of these functions send CTRL + L to the console which is the keyboard shortcut used to clear the console.

Answer 2

You may define the following function

clc <- function() cat(rep("\n", 50))

which you can then call as clc().
