make a while loop end after 10min?

[epicfail]

1 more thing if i have to while loops do i need to add $init = TimerInit() twice 4 each 1 or do i just have it at the top of my script?

$init = TimerInit()

While 1
    If TimerDiff($init) >  600000 Then
        Exit
    EndIf
    If WinActive("Untitled -") Then
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
    sleep(50)
Wend

sleep(10000)

$init = TimerInit() ;do i need this here or not?

While 1
    If TimerDiff($init) >  600000 Then
        Exit
    EndIf
    If WinActive("Untitled -") Then
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
    sleep(50)
Wend

wow sweet that was fast.

$init = TimerInit(10)

While TimerDiff($init) <  .. whatever value here for 10 minutes
    If WinActive("Untitled - Notepad") Then
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Wend

so is that right if it dont find notepad withen 10 min it will end the loop?

Pardon my jumping in and going so far back up in your thread, but you said:

if it dont find notepad...

Do you want the script to wait for a notepad window to be active or just exist?

WinActive or WinExists

lolit dosnt really matter i just put the notepad in there just 4 a demo to see how this works

[herewasplato]

$init = TimerInit()

While 1
    If TimerDiff($init) >  600000 Then
        Exit
    EndIf
    If WinActive("Untitled -") Then
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
    sleep(50)
Wend

Then try replacing the code above with:

If Not WinWait("Untitled -", "", 60 * 10) Then Exit

...or am I missing what you are attempting here?

notepad was not part of my question lololololol

It matters as to which function I post in my code back to you. :-)

no i was just trying to get the timer working o the while loop

[herewasplato]

... add $init = TimerInit() twice ...

yes

[herewasplato]

Minor thing - you can have "single line" If statements

While 1
    If TimerDiff($init) > 600000 Then Exit
    If WinActive("Untitled -") Then ExitLoop
    Sleep(50)
WEnd
