Thread: need help on writting a general outline

ok all i need is the general outline of the way which you think would be beast to get text to scroll...

eg: "C++ is cool "
"++ is cool C"
"+ is cool C+"

this is what i ahve up to date... i really need someone to help me work out the way to do it on paper :| also i cant use gotoxy() since it isnt standrard anymore :|

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void ScrollText(char text[])
{
	int stringlength=0;
	int count=0;

	stringlength=strlen(text);
	
	while(count!=stringlength) //display inital sentence no scroll yet!
	{
		cout<<text[count];
		count++;
	}
	
	while(secondcount!=stringlength)
	{
		
		cout<<text[count]
		
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void GetArray()
/*	get a charecter array
	Pre: none
	Post: return a charecter array to main for use by scrolltext() */
{
	char text[10000];

	cout<<"Enter the string to scroll now:";
	cin.getline (text, 10000);
	ScrollText(text);
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
int main()
{
	GetArray();
	return (0);
}

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void ScrollText(char text[])
{
		
	while(secondcount!=stringlength)

Here's a problem. You never declare secondcount. Haven't checked the logic in the program, but this'll stop you first.
