How to use slow print?

How do I use slow print? Or whatever it is called. It's like print except it does it slowly. Can someone help me out?

Do: textutils.slowPrint("par1Str") where "par1Str" is the text you want it to slowly print.

or you can do "oldschool" ^^ like
write("H")
sleep(0,1)
write("e")
sleep(0,1)
write("l")
sleep(0,1)
write("l")
sleep(0,1)
write("o")

but it's a lot of code ^^

You can also set the speed.

speed = 5
string = "A string!"
textutils.slowPrint(string, speed)

You can also shortcut it.

function sprint(text)
textutils.slowPrint(text)
end

Type that at the top, when you want a slowprint just type:

sprint "Insert text here!"

Even shorter:

local sprint = textutils.slowPrint

sprint("Text Here")

And you can use the time parameter:

sprint("Text", 3)

Or you can code your own function. Like this:

function slowPrint(text, time)
    for i = 1, text:len() do
	    io.write(text:sub(i, i))
	    sleep(time)
    end
    io.write("n")
end

slowPrint("Hello, World!", .5)
