Simple script needing continuous loop

[ecirillo]

I have just downloaded AutoIt.

I have a simple script that I'm looking to automate when it sees a particular file in the directory.

The script below renames the file, and then moves it into another folder.

for /f "Tokens=1-4 Delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do set SortDate=%%c%%a%%b

for /f "Tokens=1-2 Delims=: " %%a in ('time /t') do set SortTime=%%a%%b

ren upload.php upload_%SortDate%_%SortTime%.php

Move upload*.php Archive

How would I go about getting the script to look at the directory every 30 seconds to see if the upload.php file exists, then execute the script automatically?

Please help.

While 1
Sleep(30000)
If FileExists("upload.php") then Run("script.bat")
WEnd

change upload.php and script.bat to reflect there actual locations.

There we go again. You've just downloaded AutoIt and you don't know how to do anything in it. So what is the first thing you do? Of course, ask the community! The community's probably bored out of their minds, they could use someone like me. I have a lot of scripts to be written and with some luck I can make the community do everything for me.

In all seriousness, if you've just downloaded AutoIt then your first task is to learn AutoIt. Not ask the community to write your stuff for you.
