Is it possible in matlab live script to "clear all output" with a program code?

Regarding Walter's comment, I think I found the post where someone was trying to use clc and fprintf to show textual progress updates. If anyone is interested, I have posted a different workaround for textual progress indication that works in the Live Editor. Essentially, you can use the '\b' (backspace) character to remove characters from textual output in the Live Editor.

Yes, that is the one. Thanks, K.

I would also like to encourage this functionallity. When I write code which I would like to operate iteratively after a user input, it would be very helpful for the output to be programatically cleared.

I also need to have this functionality. Mainly for good housekeeping, but I can think of many reasons why I would need it. It will even help to clear the output only for the current section.

Currently you cannot programmatically set the clear output in Live Editor. There are only two ways to do this. First, the one you mentioned and the other by right clicking anywhere in the script and selecting the Clear All Output option.

I would also like this capability. Right clicking and picking Clear All Output is not a good solution. A code sequence similar to "clc" but for the live editor output window would be great. You could then assign it to the quick access toolbar for fast execution.
Thanks
