How To Scroll Your Text

[swgh]

#include <string.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <windows.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char sentzz[]="HELLO I AM A TEXT SCROLL\n"
             "
int x;              //special dialogue
int size; 

size=strlen(senta);
    for(x=0;x<size;x++)
    {   
        Sleep(40); 
        printf("%c",senta[x]);
    }
    getch();
    }

it would be a great idea to include some description, such as "i'm getting some build errors I can't decipher" or "point out where my logic is wrong." I can tell you that you're missing a semi colon after the text string, and you're taking the strlen of senta, which is undeclared. You're also indexing senta.

Sorry, I mis typed a little!

1. REPLACE the zz in char sentzz and make it read char senta[]="Hello Im Text\n";

because you have already declared x and size, you should get NO compile errors.
I do appoligise for my prevoius post, I was a little tired.

#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>

using namespace std;
//*****************************************************************************
void wait(long milliseconds)
{
  long timeout = clock() + milliseconds;
  while( clock() < timeout ) continue;
}

void Scroll(string &msg)
{
       string scrolled,temp,temp2;
       
       temp=msg.substr(1,(msg.length()));
       temp2=msg.substr(0,1);
       
       msg=temp+temp2;
       if(msg.length()+1==' ')
       {
                            cout<<temp+' '+temp2;
                            }
       else
       {
       
       cout<<msg;
       }
       }
//*****************************************************************************       
int main()
{
    string msg;
    cout<<"Enter the message that you wish to display as scroller: ";
    getline(cin,msg);
    msg=msg+". ";
    int x=0;
    
    while(1)
    {
               Scroll(msg);
               wait(100);
               system("cls");
               
               x++;    
               }
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}

Hope it helps.
