Hi All,

I'm trying to make one small addition to Jeffrey Snover's start-demo (awesome tool to demo with) to clear the screen.

Something similar to below:

{

$_.StartsWith("c")}Write-Host -NoNewLine cls

{

 

}

That way when I'm demoing PS and I can use "c" to clear the screen and keep demo at the top so everyone can see it.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Jay

#1: I changed the menu like so:
...
(t) Timecheck (?) Help (c) Clear
...

#2: After this part provided in the switch statement:
...
#################### QUIT
"q"
{
Write-Host -ForeGroundColor $CommentColor ""
return
}
...

I added this:

#################### CLEAR
"c"
{
cls
}

Give that a try...

Thanks Marco.
I also had to add the code from "b" otherwise I was skipping a command in the demo.txt after typing "c"
     "c"
          {
            cls
                if($_i -gt 0)
                {
                    $_i --

                    while (($_i -gt 0) -and ($_lines[$($_i)].StartsWith("#")))
                    {   $_i -= 1
                    }
                }
  #$_i --
                $_PretendTyping = $false
          }
