Cutting CPU usage from simple loop?

[Fretwise]

I have a extremely simple program used for automating basic actions within a program. The problem is, due to it being executed within a while loop its causing the cpu usage to go to 50% just for the process, thus making the original process that it's mimicking actions for having slow down issues. Is there a better way to do this without it using all the cpu? Thanks in advance

Add this Sleep(10) as the last line in the While loop.

Thanks, I was almost positive a sleep or waiting for an input would have done the trick but wasnt quite sure in autoit. Thanks for the help

You bet man. Good luck.
