I would like to have a routine pause for some number of seconds. I
have looked at NSTimer and it does not appear to fit what I need. Is
there some other class or routine I could use? Our am I reading the
NSTimer doc's incorrectly?
You shouldn't really be sleeping in the middle of a method called from
your main thread, because it freezes the user interface of your
program, which isn't user-friendly. If you are doing this, then either
split your routine into two (or more) pieces and use NSTimer or
-performSelector:afterDelay:, or move the code to a separate thread, in
which case you can call sleep(), usleep() or nanosleep() as required.
Kind regards,
Alastair.
