I'm trying to create an effect in bash where given a string, bash
echos it out slowly.

This is exactly what I want, but in ruby and perl:

$ ruby -e '"hello world\n".split("").each {|c| print c ; system("sleep
0.05") } ; '

$ perl -e 'for $c (split("","hello world!\n")) {print $c ;
system("sleep 0.05") } ; '

Any thoughts on how to accomplish the same in bash?

Regards,
- Robert
