How do I delete 2 lines in a windows terminal using C?

I know that I can move to the beginning of a line using "\r".
But neither printf("\r\r"); nor printf("\r\b\r"; work.
A windows TErminal is not VT100 compliant, or I haven't figured out how to use VT100 in a windows terminal.

\r\n is a DOS newline.

You mean you want to go from:

One line

Two line

Three line

Four line

... to:

One line

Two line

... in the Command Prompt, real time?

Use a GUI text box that almost emulates a command prompt but you can do that sort of thing in it

Just look at how QBASIC does it. It's in the MS-DOS source code that was leaked a while back.

Do like Dwarf Fortress and use OpenGL to draw the console window. Do 10 API calls per character, one of which is glFinish(), to make it feel authentic.

Also it's obviously possible. I'd start reading here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682088(VS.85).aspx
