cygwin clearscreen from bash

Question

I want to clearscreen from bash in a cygwin terminal. I have tried

cmd /c cls echo -e "^V^L" echo -e "\014" 

None of these work - they all give a "linefeed". Pressing CTRL+L does work - but I want to call it from a Bash script.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Or you could try ctrl-L :)

That should work in most emulated terminals as well.
