I want to print/echo an output "This is the name of the game" where each letter will be printed/echoed after an interval of 1 sec

this will do..

echo "This is the name of the game"|awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){printf $i" ";system("sleep 1")}}END{print}'

I got the following output:

This is the name of the game This is the name of the game

This will echo words by word..
For character by character, try:

echo "This is the name of the game"|awk '{ ORS="";while(i++<length($0)) { print substr($0,i,1); system("sleep 1"); } }'

Works fine except that the prompt comes immediately after the output:

This is the name of the game[root@wiki ~]#

ok.Try:

echo "This is the name of the game"|awk '{ ORS="";while(i++<length($0)) { print substr($0,i,1); system("sleep 1"); }printf "\n"; }'

While i run the above code snippet ctrl+c doesn't have any effect. Why is it so?
