Hi, I was hoping someone could answer this question for me. I got a program that I'm compiling under g++ on UNIX. Im trying to cout some text to the screen that flashes. Can anyone tell me if this is possible?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.
yes.
the way i do it is [if you have conio.h and dos.h]
Code:-- -- for(i=1;i<10;i++) { gotoxy(35,12); clreol(); cout<<"HELLO WORLD"; delay(200); gotoxy(35,12); clreol(); cout<<" "; delay(100) } -- --
there is also a BLINK function in conio.h. i havent used it but you could search for it in your compiler help.

here is one way to do it, and i may be wrong on the /r part of it but i think it is /r. /r returns you to the beginning of the line, IIRC.
this will give you the effect of seeing flashing text five times.Code:for(int i; i < 5; i++) { cout << "text\r"; Sleep(100); //waits one tenth of a second clrscr(); }
change as you wish
then again i have no idea if this will work under the environment you are looking to use it under.
EDIT: i was posting while ishir posted.
