C Type Writer Effect help please.

I have been trying to create a simple type writer effect in c. Have not been successful.
I figured it has to do with char and for, but I can't figure out how to do it.

Maby someone on here can help me write a simple type writer effect in c. The kind you see in rpg and other games.

Thanks.

and what do you call type writer effect?

just simply print a single char of a string until the end of the string...
put delay every time you print...

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
    char *eekkss = "wowowowowow";
    int len = strlen(eekkss);
    for (int i = 0; i <= len; i++){
        printf("%c", eekkss[i]);
        Sleep(800);
    }
}

---

Also read about fflush() as well.

I should of probable mentioned I am programming C on linux.

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main()
{
        int i;
        char *eekkss = "This is a test string.";
        int len = strlen(eekkss);
        for (i = 0; i <= len; i++){
        printf("%c", eekkss[i]);
        usleep(8000);
        }
}

---

That is what I did, but I have a problem. It waits the whole 8000 microseconds then prints the whole string to the console. Instead of print 1 char usleep 8000, print another char usleep 8000. I will keep messing with it. Maby someone on here knows what is wrong with it.

Are you sure you could fill 8 ms interval?

You could add fflush(stdout) to enforce printf output the char

also note that eekkss[len] is nul-char that should not be printed

char *eekkss - should be
const char*

Thanks. I got it to work ok for now.

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main()
{
        int i;
        const char *eekkss = "This is a test string.";
        int len = strlen(eekkss);
        for (i = 0; i <= len; i++){
        printf("%c", eekkss[i]);
        fflush(stdout);
        usleep(15000);
       
        }

}

I will use usleep for now. Might use something else later in place of usleep.
