Waiting Loop

[Attila]

Hi there fellow AutoIter's.. I am making a little program and I need it to wait a certain time before it loops, how would I go about doing it?

Probably by using Sleep(), or a combination of TimerInit TimerDiff and Sleep.

Try Sleep()

Did you mean "Sleep()" ?

I know about sleep, but I also need to loop the entire code. So basically I just need a loop. Could I get a quick example of a Do.. While?

See DateDiff or TimerDiff Functions.

Like this

#Include <Date.au3>

Global $_Timer1 = _NowCalc ( )

While 1
    $_NowCalc = _NowCalc ( )
    If _DateDiff ( "s", $_Timer1, $_NowCalc ) >= 10 Then ExitLoop ; 10 sec
    Sleep ( 10 )
WEnd

$i = 0
Do
    MsgBox(0, "Value of $i is:", $i)
    $i = $i + 1
Until $i = 10

Highly-advanced-ninja-style-sleeping-loop:

$i = 0
Do
    MsgBox(0, "Value of $i is:", $i)
    $i = $i + 1
    Sleep(1000 * 60 * 5) ; Sleep for 5 Minutes
Until $i = 10

I got it. It was very difficult, must be that it's 4:30am and my brain is shutting down. Thanks for the input!
