help with loops

[shay]

HI all

i start using loop in my testing script,

unfortunately i`m new to the loop commands,

the above script sometime work and sometime not

i want to do loop till find different text on window or timer expire,

for timer i use TimerInit + TimerDiff

any suggestion what did i do wrong or any improvement?

$timeout = IniRead($path, "General", "loop_wait", "297000")
$begin = TimerInit()
 Do
 $prepar = WinExists("LU", "Preparing file transfer")
    if $prepar = 1 then ExitLoop
    if WinExists("LU", "File transfer complete") then $compleat = "1"
    if WinExists("LU", "Error: LU not responding") then $notR = "1"
    if WinExists("LU0", "File transfer stopped") then $stop = "1"

        $dif = TimerDiff($begin)
        sleep(300)
        WinActivate("LU-30",'')
        ToolTip("Automation: Loop in progress", 20, 250)

 until $dif > $timeout Or $compleat = "1" or $notR = "1" or $stop = "1"

$timeout = IniRead($path, "General", "loop_wait", "297000")

the $path lead to the DLL file
