Can anybody please explain why the c code: printf("%c[H%c[J",27,27); clears my cygwin console as expected, but the Java code:
System.out.print("\033[2J\033[H"); displays a back arrow instead on interpreting the escape character? the problem seems impervious to all language level variations and ansi.sys loaded or not in windows land cygwin on windows xp, jdk1.6.0_06 from sun, gcc et.al. from cygwin thanks for any help -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/java-vs-c%2C-escape-sequences-tp19469048p19469048.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
