Hi there PF. I was wondering if there was a C++ command that delayed a command being run for a certain period of time. I'm trying to make a program that outputs the lyrics to a song at the right times.

Sleep(number of milliseconds)

If this is for windows, you might want to consider using a multi-media timer which is higher resolution (1000 hz versus the typical 64 hz ticker used for the sleep() function).

Neat, I'll have a look at that too.
