Loading Animation

I'm trying to creat on of the animations with the slashes as you may know.
it looks something like this \ | / --. It almost looks something like a star * . If anyone can help me that would be great thanx.

Code:

int Counter=0;
while(!kbhit())
{
  gotoxy(1,1);
  switch(Counter)
  {
    case 0:
      printf("|");
      Counter++;
    break;
    case 1:
      printf("/");
      Counter++;
    break;
    case 2:
      printf("-");
      Counter++;
    break;
    case 3:
      printf("\\");
      Counter++;
    break;
    default:
      Counter=0;
  }
}

You may want to slow it down a bit though . Notice the printf("\\"); where you have to use two \, not one. One \ is used to give special commands to strings like new line ( \n ), tab ( \t ) and so on.

Thanks!

That worked perfectly
