    exiting in c++ after timed delay

    hello,


    System("CLS") is not working on my station, and depending on the number of tries a person makes on a "guessing" game, I want the user to see a message for 5 seconds, then have the application close automatically.

    Thanks

    You specifically stated your station....what about other workstations?

    How are you using it?

    If you're on a windows platform, you might want to have a look at this page.
    The methods you'd be using are SetTimer and KillTimer.
