Function to clear the console in R and RStudio
cat("\014") is the code to send CTRL+L to the console, and therefore will clear the screen.
Far better than just sending a whole lot of returns.
If you are using the default R console, the key combination Option + Command + L will clear the console.
You may define the following function
clc <- function() cat(rep("\n", 50))which you can then call as clc().
