First of all,this is about D ,not C#.
In C# the program print each letter of a string per 0.3 second one by one using
the Timer & delegate:
C# code:
using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Timers;
namespace OneLetterATime
{
class Program
{
static int counter = 0;
static string displayString = @"This string will appear one letter at a
time.";
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Timer myTimer = new Timer(300);
myTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(WriteChar);
myTimer.Start();
Console.ReadKey();
}
static void WriteChar(Object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
Console.Write(displayString[counter++%displayString.Length]);
}
}
I would like to implement the same demand using D+Tango:
D code:
module OneLetterATime;
import tango.io.Stdout;
import tango.core.Thread;
//import samsTools.PromptMessage;
int main(char[][] args)
{
static int counter=0;
static char[] displayString=r"This string will appear one letter at a time.";
void writeChar()
{
Thread thisThread=Thread.getThis;
for(int counter=0;;counter++)
{
Stdout.format("{}",displayString[counter%displayString.length]).flush;
thisThread.sleep(0.3);
}
}
Thread thread=new Thread(&writeChar);
thread.start;
return 0;
}
But I am not sure whether this is the right D way to meet the goal.Also I would
like to know how to abort the program in D as the same does in the above C#
program that the program aborts when the user press any
key(Console.ReadKey();)?Finally I would like to know is there any API in D or
Tango that does the same job as Timer in Windows?
Thank so much for your help.

Sam
