Need help tokenizing a word, not (sentences) and than use the sleep() function on 'em

[cplusplusnoob]

Here's the code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <ctime>
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

 
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    string Input ("L o n g  a g o ,  e x i s t e d  a  r e a l m  l i k e  n o  o t h e r . . . ");
  string qTokenize(Input);
  string qDelim(" ");
 
  string::size_type qStart(0);
  string::size_type qEnd;
  qEnd = qTokenize.find_first_of(qDelim, qStart);
  while (qEnd != string::npos) {
  cout << qTokenize.substr(qStart, qEnd - qStart) << endl;
  qStart = qEnd + 1;
  qEnd = qTokenize.find_first_of (qDelim, qStart);

cout << qTokenize.substr(qStart);
sleep(400);
}

I was able to figure out how to tokenize my sentences, and later, how to use the sleep() function... But now I want to learn how to use the sleep() function on my tokenized sentences. And when I mean sentences, I mean each letter from each word in the sentence; it would look weird if the whole word was appearing, instead of each character.

for example: "Long time,"

I want it to look like:
"L"
"o"
"n"
"g"
" "
"t"
"i"
"m"
"e"
ect..

Instead of:

"Long"
" "
"time"
ect..



And it should be all on one line, just like the sleep() function always does!

But, I can't really think of what functions I could do to acheive what I want... any ideas or tips would be very appreciated!!!

P.S. There was one way I could do it, but it takes so much time and space to do... I did this :

cout << "L";
sleep(400);
cout<<"o";
sleep(400);
cout << "n";
sleep(400);
cout << "g";
sleep(400);

ect....

So what I'm asking is, if there is a shorter way to do this??

Have you tried looping through your string character by character?
