1 letter At A Time
Author
Can some one please tell me how i can make my text show up a letter at a time, instead of the whole text showing up at once?
(Console)
Yeah, im a noobie myself but here's the info...
char NameHere = "WhatEver";
cout << NameHere[0];
its not wanting to show for some odd reason.
cout<
Another Example:
for(int i = 0; i <= 8; i++)
{
cout<<}
Output:
W
h
a
t
E
v
e
r
that would do this...
--After Building and runing the program--
W
edit: Bah forgot to tell you this... the numbers start at zero on the left...and count up. 01234...etc... Of how ever big the string is...

Are you referring how to do this to strings or what?
Do you mean something like this?

Do you mean something like this?
string foo="meet foo";const int t=1000;//set whatever delay you wantfor(int i=0;i<foo.length();i++){ cout<<foo[i]; Sleep(t);//one second intervals}//for

few mistakes if you haven't caught them already. First, you have to use char *NameHere otherwise you're only allocating space for a single char. You'll probably end up getting an error too trying to assign stuff the way you're doing now.
Second mistake is you should be going from i=0 to i<8; not <=. Also it's probably a better idea to use strlen(NameHere) to get it's length instead of putting an actual number there. You won't always know what the length of the string is.
And lastly, you can enclose your code using [source] tags so the formating doesn't show up all messed up in your post.

You could use some time function and always output only one char at a time, so you would have something like this:
#pragma comment(lib,"winmm.lib")#include <windows.h>#include <iostream>int main(){ int curChar = 0; int curTime, startTime; char lpstrText[] = "Your Text\n"; startTime = timeGetTime(); // get current (=start) time do { curTime = timeGetTime(); // get current time if (startTime+500 <= curTime) // if half a second has passed { std::cout << lpstrText[curChar++]; startTime = curTime; } if (HIWORD(GetKeyState(VK_RETURN))) // if the user presses return the whole text will be there at once { std::cout << &lpstrText[curChar]; curChar = strlen(lpstrText); } } while (curChar < strlen(lpstrText)); system("PAUSE"); // wait so one can still watch the output ;) return 0;}This topic is closed to new replies.
