Restart script if winwait doesn't happen

[gsc]

Hi All,

Please excuse my dumbness! I am not a great scripter but have been working on a script for a friend how has had issues with their internet. I have created a script to Ping something like Google if no connection it then runs a script, however, if the issue is with the router rebooting due to a power surge and the page doesn't load, how can I get the script to reboot and start from the beginning?

expandcollapse popup

While 1
$var = Ping("www.google.com")

If not @error Then
MouseMove (0, 728)
MouseClick ("left")
Sleep (500)
MouseClick ("left")
Sleep (1000000)
Else
MouseMove (150, 749)
MouseClick ("left")
Sleep (500)
MouseClick ("left")
run( "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE -new http://192.168.1.1/setup.cgi?next_file=RST_st_poe.htm","")
WinWaitActive("Windows Security")
ControlClick("Windows Security", "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]")
Send ("{CTRLDOWN}")
Send ("a")
Send ("{CTRLUP}")
Sleep (500)
Send ("****")
Sleep (500)
Send ("{TAB}")
Sleep (500)
Send ("*****")
Sleep (500)
Send ("{ENTER}")
Sleep (5000)
WinWaitActive("NETGEAR Router DGND3700v2 - Windows Internet Explorer")
Send ("{ALTDOWN}")
Sleep (100)
Send ("{SPACE}")
Sleep (100)
Send ("{ALTUP}")
Sleep (500)
Send ("x")
Sleep (3000)
MouseMove (733, 88)
MouseClick ("left")
Sleep (5000)
MouseMove (657, 265)
MouseClick ("left")
Sleep (5000)
ControlClick("Windows Internet Explorer", "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]")
Endif
WEnd

So if the WinWaitActive("Windows Security") isn't found, how can it tell the script to start again?

Please not that the below bit after ELSE is to close all current windows:

MouseMove (150, 749)

MouseClick ("left")

Sleep (500)

MouseClick ("left")

Thanks in advance for any help

if not WinWaitActive("Windows Security", "", [Timeout]) then ContinueLoop

But will that actually restart the loop? as the next item is the controlclick the window it is waiting for? but it cannot if it doesn't load?

Hi,

Try this :

expandcollapse popup

While 1
    Sleep(10)
    _MyFunc()
WEnd

Func _MyFunc()
    Local Const $iTimeout = 5
    Local $var = Ping("www.google.com")

    If Not @error Then
        MouseMove(0, 728)
        MouseClick("left")
        Sleep(500)
        MouseClick("left")
        Sleep(1000000)
    Else
        MouseMove(150, 749)
        MouseClick("left")
        Sleep(500)
        MouseClick("left")
        Run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE -new http://192.168.1.1/setup.cgi?next_file=RST_st_poe.htm")
        If WinWaitActive("Windows Security", "", $iTimeout) = 0 Then Return
        ControlClick("Windows Security", "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]")
        Send("{CTRLDOWN}")
        Send("a")
        Send("{CTRLUP}")
        Sleep(500)
        Send("****")
        Sleep(500)
        Send("{TAB}")
        Sleep(500)
        Send("*****")
        Sleep(500)
        Send("{ENTER}")
        Sleep(5000)
        If WinWaitActive("NETGEAR Router DGND3700v2 - Windows Internet Explorer", "", $iTimeout) = 0 Then Return
        Send("{ALTDOWN}")
        Sleep(100)
        Send("{SPACE}")
        Sleep(100)
        Send("{ALTUP}")
        Sleep(500)
        Send("x")
        Sleep(3000)
        MouseMove(733, 88)
        MouseClick("left")
        Sleep(5000)
        MouseMove(657, 265)
        MouseClick("left")
        Sleep(5000)
        ControlClick("Windows Internet Explorer", "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]")
    EndIf
EndFunc

FireFox! you are a genius! thank you so much... I find it all so confusing haha... I have so many scripts that have an issue somewhere or another....

My current issue is that there is other scripts that run but I need something at the beginning of each script that says if the following scripts are working then sleep 10 seconds... any ideas?

Quick note on this... is there a way to make the script keep a log of each time it needs to reconnect the internet? so if it is fine then the mouse clicks something twice, however, if the internet drops it keeps a continuing log of it, and reports even if it timesout and has to start again?

You can check for function return values/@error macro and if it fails then for example return 0 instead of 1 if it's successful.

While 1
    If _MyFunc() = 0 Then
        Sleep(10000)
    EndIf
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func _MyFunc()
    ;do something
    If @error Then Return 0

    Return 1
EndFunc

Sure, or you go
