Is it possible to print to a clear integrated terminal in VSCode - terminal

Question

I want the output from my program to be printed on an empty terminal. ie, instead of,
PS C:\Stuff\More Stuff> & 'c:\Users\user\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.cpptools-1.4.1\debugAdapters\bin\WindowsDebugLauncher.exe' '--stdin=Microsoft-MIEngine-In-w1d2d2zg.skd' '--stdout=Microsoft-MIEngine-Out-2q3w4dx4.xne' '--stderr=Microsoft-MIEngine-Error-sr0qr1un.pod' '--pid=Microsoft-MIEngine-Pid-zddzumbv.aaf' '--dbgExe=C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\TDM-GCC-64\bin\gdb.exe' '--interpreter=mi'
Hello from my program
I want,

Here is my launch.json if it's of any help,

],

}
}
So, is there a way to output the program into an empty terminal?
Edit: I found a similar question here, but the solution posted doesn't work for me. It says, "Property console is not allowed". I am using the f5 debugger to run my C++ programs. I found some other similar questions, but they don't have an answer.

Answer 1

For now, the best working solution I could find is running the following command at the start of the program.
int main()
{
cout << "\033[2J\033[1;1H";
/*rest of the code here*/
}
This clears the terminal before execution of the actual program. This will also clear any outputs from previous runs. I'd prefer to have my previous outputs.
