ok ill start working on it now, but im not sure its compatible with delphi, coz im doing it in turbo pascal for dos.
Check your email soon

btw is there a delay procedure in delphi or do i need to do one? i can do a delay procedure but it will delay the whole computer.

[Testicle]

landrocker you got mail

Im not sure though if it can be implemented with Delphi

I guess its up to you to figure how to implement it hehe



btw Im now on irc waiting for a conversation

Thanx Testicle,
Umm, I'm not sure about the delay procedure, but i'll search delphi help and the borland developer network for one that don't delay the whole machine then i'll edit ur code or post the change to u.

L8r,

EDIT: Testicle go back on IRC lol

Actually you should look for any delay procedure I went through the delphi tutorial and realised it can do things in i think it was called "threads" where things can be done simultaneously, without interfering one another if they are on different threads, so all we have to do is put the letter-by-letter procedure on a thread of its own with any delay procedure, and it will not delay the whole computer. You see, pascal for dos doesnt have that.

umm,
My copy of Delphi doesn't have crt for u to use (whatever that is ).  Um, if u know, or could find out, how to access a certain character in a string (like character 5 for example) i could rite the loop to output to memo box or sumthing using a timer - not a completly seperate thread. Also, from the delphi help files, i don't think it has a delay function anyway.

If u know how to access a certain char just post it here or go onto IRC and tell me.

well its very easy in pascal - for example, i have a variable called "string" and its value is "Hello";
so, string[2] = 'e';

as for crt its a unit, i can send it to you


And you are not on irc why dont you go there we can discuss things more efficiently

Cool thanx testicle,
i think i've found the delphi proc to do that now so hopefully it'll work and i'll be postin v0.0.1 2morrow

[Testicle]

k cool come to irc!!!

If your looking for a character at a specific index then do uses <string_var_name>[index].

If you're looking for the first occurance of a particular character or string then use
 Index:=Pos(substring, string)

[Biblin]

To use a crt you use to include wincrt in the uses clause for tp.  in delphi you use the {$APPTYPE CONSOLE} compiler directive in the main program unit.

[Testicle]

biblin and landrocker do you have icq?

[Testicle]

hehe the above was the 100th reply of this thread
