Hello, can someone explain to me if it is possible that the functions sleep of C and Perl work like the function sleep of bashin this scripts and program:
Bash: #timerest1.sh #!/bin/bash echo "The processus will start in 5 seconds" echo i=0 for i in `seq 6`; do echo -ne "\e[0;46;31m $[ 6-$i ]\e[0m" ; sleep 1 echo -en "\r" done echo C: #timerest2.c #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> int main() { unsigned i; printf("The processus will start in 5 seconds\n"); for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) { printf("\e[0;46;31m%d\e[0m", 5 - i); sleep(1); printf("\r"); } printf("...\n"); return 0; } Perl: #timeresr3.pl #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; print "The processus will start in 5 seconds\n"; my $i= 0; print "\n"; while ( $i < 6 ) { print "\r"; # print " "x40; print "\e[0;46;31m",5 - $i,"\e[0m " ; sleep 1; $i++; } print "...\n"; tia -- Gérard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
