Pause inside a while.

Hi all, is possible make a pause (for 1 second) inside a while?

Thank you.

Hi,
here is a somewhat portable sleep function(I only have tested under win XP) :

#ifndef _WIN32
# include <unistd.h>
#else
# include <windows.h>
#endif

#include <iostream>
#include <assert.h>

//Suspend execution of the calling process for ms milliseconds.
void wait_for (int ms)
{
  assert (ms >= 0);//positive_argument
#ifndef _WIN32
  usleep (ms);
#else
  Sleep (ms);
#endif
}

//little test
int main ()
{
  std::cout << "waiting 2 seconds ..." << std::endl;

  wait_for (2000);

  std::cout << "finished" << std::endl;

  return 0;
}
