3 Loop Script & never closes

[robhunter]

Hi, I'm developing an automation script for capturing some data from an URL.

But I have two questions,

1: How do I set the script, to never stop. I need it to run on XX minutes (at 00:03, when it finish, then wait until 00:18, then at 00:33... Every 15 minutes I need the script go to first line and start again.) So I pretend to run Script.exe ONE time, and it wont close until I manually close it (or crashes).

2: I need this code (see bottom of post) to run 3 times,each time some variables (marked with '!') need to have different values, I explain below what I need in this two questions.

00:03 Script starts loop 1 with this values
      $seccion = "SECTOR1"
      $url     = "URL1"

00:0X Script finish loop 1 and starts loop 2
      $seccion = "SECTOR2"
      $url     = "URL2"

00:0X Script finish loop 2 and starts loop 3
      $seccion = "SECTOR3"
      $url     = "URL3"

00:0X Script finish loop 3 and wait until 00:18.

00:18 Script starts loop 1.....

and so on. I have been programming autoit for 4 days and I'm pretty newbie so if you could help me with some functions and stuff for do what I want it will be great.

Try this basic structure:

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Quit") ; Need a way to exit the script

Global $iSelect = 0
Global $aSections[3] = ["Section_0", "Section_1", "Section_2"]
Global $aURLs[3] = ["http://www.autoitscript.com", "http://www.libreoffice.org", "http://www.mozilla.com"]

While 1
    Switch @SEC
        Case 03, 18, 33, 48 ; Every 15 seconds
            $sSection = $aSections[$iSelect]
            $sURL = $aURLs[$iSelect]
            $iSelect += 1
            If $iSelect > UBound($aSections) - 1 Then $iSelect = 0

            ; Replace this code with what you really want done
            ConsoleWrite("Time = " & @HOUR & ":" & @MIN & ":" & @SEC & "; Section = " & $sSection & "; URL = " & $sURL & @LF)
    EndSwitch
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func _Quit()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Quit

This fires on the matching seconds (@SEC) instead of minutes for the sake of testing, but you get the idea.

It loops with While/WEnd.

It uses an index variable ($iSelect) to cycle through the choices from arrays.
