Hi,

I am working on a project in which I want a screen to show lots of TEXT being generated. A bit like that effect in the matrix.

I was thinking about making a of batch file to do some silly task in a loop like looking for a file in a folder and if its there rename it and then start looking for that file to rename it again, etc.

This works, but since it only generates 4 lines of text you kind of start to see the repetition, even though its much too fast to read.

Does anyone know some harmless task that I can put in a batch file to make it run more text?

Thank you!!

Hi 
Can you show us what did you tried as code until now ?
And explain more your AIM !Silly...

However...carry on...Hi,

I found SOMETHING that looks pretty good:

echo off
color 0a
:top
echo %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random%
goto top


I added this line that pings some fake IP address to make it go a little slower:

ping 10.109.199.199 -n 1 -w >nul

But now I'd like to be able to stop the flow of numbers when I hit a certain key and show some "text" like this:


  _     _            _    _         
 | |    | |          |  | |  |       
 | |__|  |   __   |  | |  |    ___ 
 |  __   |  / _ \  |  | |  |  /  _  \
 | |    | | |  __/ |  | |  | |  (_)  |
 |_|   |_|  \__   |_| |_|  \ ___/
                               
                               
does anyone know how to?


What you want used to be called "Tele Type Art".
Here is a Teletype machine:



And here is some Teletype Art:

Radio stations used to get this sort of thing at Christmas time.  Back in the days when Fax machines were not common. Somebody would spend hours making Art out of the letters of the Teletype.
