I am using Windows as OS and installed Erlang 16B. How do i clear my screen?

I have already tried :

Type the below command to your erlang shell. io:format(os:cmd(clear)). And off you go :)

The author of the following link/answer suggests to use io:format.

http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2014-November/081939.html

Write your own function call:

clear() ->
    io:format("\033[2J").
