Terminal control/Dimensions is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.
Determine the height and width of the terminal, and store this information into variables for subsequent use.
AWK
BASIC
Batch File
PureBasic
REXX
The Rexx programming language does not include a facility to clear the screen. However, it might be possible to output ANSI control sequences, and there are various workarounds which are platform specific:
regina
UNIX Shell
<lang bash>
#!/bin/sh WIDTH=`tput cols` HEIGHT=`tput lines` echo "The terminal is $WIDTH characters wide and has $HEIGHT lines"
</lang>
