how to exit loop after given time

[bobthenob]

hi

i have learnt a lot from reading, and the help of others on these forums thanks.

my program works 90% correct!

but once in a while it gets stuck.

I think ive found the fault it some times misses the status bar text im looking for. (Start downloading from site:)

What im trying to do, is if it looks for an amount of time, say 5 seconds, the move on but i cant seem to do this.

I looked at using TimerDiff but could seem to work out quite how to implement it. Cheers

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
#include <IE.au3>
#include <String.au3>
#include <File.au3>

    Dim $state
     $oIE = _IECreate ("website")
     WinSetState("[class:IEFrame]","",@SW_MAXIMIZE)
     _IELoadWait($oIE)
    WinActivate("[class:IEFrame]","")

 Do
    $state = StatusbarGetText("[class:IEFrame]","")
    until $state = "Start downloading from site: " ; this is were it gets stuck some times[/color]
    sleep(500)                                 ; if it sits here for say five seconds id like to move on[/color]

    
 Do
        $state = StatusbarGetText("[class:IEFrame]","")
    Until $state = "Done"                  
    sleep(1000)

    winactivate ("[class:IEFrame]","")
winwaitactive ("[class:IEFrame]","")
$o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "frmlogin")
$o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "username")
$o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "password")
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_login, $username)
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_password, $password)
_IEFormSubmit ($o_Form)

Try This

$Timer=TimerInit()
 Do
    $state = StatusbarGetText("[class:IEFrame]","")
    until $state = "Start downloading from site: " or TimerDiff($Timer)>=5000 ; this is were it gets stuck some times[/color]
    sleep(500)
