MattX 0 Posted June 13, 2005 I'm a bit stuck - I want this little prog to keep looping until I break out of it - I wanted to use a 'continueloop' but cannot work out if this is the best way or shall I use something else instead - some help would be appreicated. The prog just keeps pinging an address, if it fails then it logs it, if not then I want it to keep going.....and going.....and going.... expandcollapse popup$var = Ping("10.0.0.4") Dim $sLogPath = "c:\matt\log.txt" Dim $sLogMsg = "Failed Ping at " If $var Then Else _FileWriteLog($sLogPath, $sLogMsg) Sleep(60000) EndIf Func _FileWriteLog($sLogPath, $sLogMsg) Local $sDateNow Local $sTimeNow Local $sMsg Local $hOpenFile Local $hWriteFile $sDateNow = @YEAR & "-" & @MON & "-" & @MDAY $sTimeNow = @HOUR & ":" & @MIN & ":" & @SEC $sMsg = $sDateNow & " " & $sTimeNow & " : " & $sLogMsg $hOpenFile = FileOpen($sLogPath, 1) If $hOpenFile = -1 Then SetError(1) Return 0 EndIf $hWriteFile = FileWriteLine($hOpenFile, $sMsg) If $hWriteFile = -1 Then SetError(2) Return 0 EndIf FileClose($hOpenFile) Return 1 EndFunc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
