Help with looping function

[Monolith]

Hello

I'm quite relatively new to Autoit.

I am wanting to loop a "section" of a function every 30sec. I have tried [Do Until, continueloop] not sure what else i can use. Do i need to work with [While] ?

#include <IE.au3>
#include <file.au3>
#include <Date.au3>


_check()

Func _check() ; [u]I would like to loop this function indefinitely or until script is terminated, but once is finds the string in the page only goto: _sendmail() function after 5 emails sent[/u]
    $site1 = _IECreate("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_da_Vinci", 0, 0)
    _IELoadWait($site1)
    $txt = "this is an example"

    Sleep(500)
    $checking = _IEBodyReadHTML($site1)
        If Not StringInStr($checking, $txt) Then
        InetGet("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_da_Vinci", $file, 1, 0)
        Sleep(3000)
        Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 3)
        ProcessClose("iexplore.exe")
        _sendmail()
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_check


Func _sendmail()
    RunWait("blat.exe -server """ & $SMTPADD & """ -s """ & $SUBJECT & """ -attach """ & $file & """ -body """ & $body & """ -u """ & $USERNAME & """ -pw """ & $PASSWORD & """ -t """ & $TO & """ -f """ & $from & """ -log """ & $log & """", "", @SW_HIDE)
    ;RunWait('blat.exe' & ' ' & '-server' & ' ' & $SMTPADD & ' ' & ' -s'  & ' ' & $SUBJECT & ' ' & '-body' & ' ' & $BODY & ' ' & '-u' & ' ' & $USERNAME & ' ' & '-pw' & ' ' & $PASSWORD & ' ' & '-f' & ' ' & $from & ' ' & '-log' & ' ' & $log, @SW_HIDE)

sleep(120000)
_check()
EndFunc   ;==>_sendmail

thanks in advance

Hi again

I have now created like this

_check()

Func _check()
    $site1 = _IECreate("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_da_Vinci", 0, 0)
    _IELoadWait($site1)
    $txt = "Example txt HERE"
    Sleep(500)
    $checking = _IEBodyReadHTML($site1)

    If StringInStr($checking, $txt) Then
        _sleep()

    ElseIf Not StringInStr($checking, $txt) Then
        InetGet("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_da_Vinci", $file, 1)
        Sleep(3000)
        Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 3)
        ProcessClose("iexplore.exe")
        _sendmail()
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_check


Func _sleep()
    Sleep(60000)
    _Check()
EndFunc   ;==>_sleep



Func _sendmail()
    RunWait("blat.exe -server """ & $SMTPADD & """ -s """ & $SUBJECT & """ -attach """ & $file & """ -body """ & $body & """ -u """ & $USERNAME & """ -pw """ & $PASSWORD & """ -t """ & $TO & """ -f """ & $from & """ -log """ & $log & """", "", @SW_HIDE)
    ;RunWait('blat.exe' & ' ' & '-server' & ' ' & $SMTPADD & ' ' & ' -s'  & ' ' & $SUBJECT & ' ' & '-body' & ' ' & $BODY & ' ' & '-u' & ' ' & $USERNAME & ' ' & '-pw' & ' ' & $PASSWORD & ' ' & '-f' & ' ' & $from & ' ' & '-log' & ' ' & $log, @SW_HIDE)
    Sleep(120000)
    _check()
EndFunc   ;==>_sendmail

It is quite simple and i think is sufficient?

thanks in advance

Welcome to the AutoIt forums Monolith

Probably the easiest way is to use AdlibEnable (or AdlibRegister in the Beta version). You can always stop the function being called by disabling with AdlibDisable. You won't need to have a sleep delay in your function in that case.

AdlibEnable("_check",3000);the function will be called every 3s
AdlibDisable() ;no function is called anymore

With the Beta version and AdlibRegister you can have more than one function which is called every time period with a different time period for each function.

Thanks Martin for that intel, i'll test it out
