( I am assuming you'r asking for the case that you yourself are on the command line. If this is a java scpecific question, you need to be more specific, like what kind of output you want to clean from where .... )

If you mean programmatically and on Windows then practicably you can't AFAIK

K, well, heres the point of it.
Im using java and im testing alot of data, need to view alot of output. want to clean it up. basically im asking if theres a way to clear all past output using java code, to where the new output is starting on a clean slate so to say. does java support this or is their a way to do it?

> need to view alot of output.
you can redirect the output to a file, and view the file in a good text editor such as SciTE (free open source).
