Hi everyone!
Does anyone know, if it is possible to clear the screen in ANSI C?
If it is,then how?
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know about ANSI ... but in the *nix world most shell programs
emulate the VT100 ... the following program will clear the screen.

This is exactly why off-topic questions should not receive
answers: often, the given "answers" are wrong.

In the Unix world, the shell has nothing to do with terminal
emulation.
