Script running in a loop

[CHOVIE 1]

Good Day All,

Please have a look at the below partial script that I have created, I have done this script before but lost all my back ups and HDD`s .....   I have gone through all the help files and forums to see why this is not working and could not find anything ... (maybe I am just stupid and can`t read) ...

 

 once the script is running and you click on one of the buttons to execute the below command it just runs in a loop and carries on and on until you pause the script. This command basically needs to go to a specific file take the IP from there open a telnet session and execute the commands required.  Do I need to #include anything?

 

Thank you for having a look ........

 

Case $PE
            $sfileSpec = "C:\CCTV\Allsvr\PESVR.ini"
        $file = FileOpen($sfileSpec, 0)

        If $file = -1 Then
            MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open data file: '" & $sFileSpec & "'")
        Exit
    EndIf
While 5
        $sLine = FileReadLine($file)
        If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop

        $sWindowTitle = "Telnet" & $sLine

        $result = Run(@ComSpec & " /c telnet " & $sline)

        if $result <> 0 Then
            Sleep(500)

            WinActivate($sWindowTitle)
            Sleep(200)
            Send("e")
            Sleep(300)
            Send("{ENTER}")
            Sleep(300)
            Send("*r?")
            Sleep(300)
            Send("{ENTER}")
            Sleep(300)
        Else
            MsgBox(0, "Error", "Failed to run Telnet for server '" & $sLine & "'!")
        EndIf
    WEnd

Read up on Case and see how it is properly used. It looks to me you have that part of your script coded incorrectly.

that said - ignoring syntax and horrific indentation - your script works fine. this is after some minor modifications, and i placed an IP address in the .ini file.

$sfileSpec = "D:\PESVR.ini"
$file = FileOpen($sfileSpec, 0)
If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open data file: '" & $sFileSpec & "'")
    Exit
EndIf
While 5
    $sLine = FileReadLine($file)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    $sWindowTitle = "Telnet" & $sLine
    $result = Run(@ComSpec & " /c telnet " & $sline)
    if $result <> 0 Then
        Sleep(500)
        WinActivate($sWindowTitle)
        Sleep(200)
        Send("e")
        Sleep(300)
        Send("{ENTER}")
        Sleep(300)
        Send("*r?")
        Sleep(300)
        Send("{ENTER}")
        Sleep(300)
    Else
        MsgBox(0, "Error", "Failed to run Telnet for server '" & $sLine & "'!")
    EndIf
WEnd

@ YogiBear thank you for having a look .....will readup on the right way to use "case" ......

@ orbs thank you for having a look ..... and corrections ......

@ 0xdefea7 will try and remember that one ..........

Sorry for the bad syntax but this was my first script I wrote and I am still learning the language and all the things associated with it ........... I have found my old installation of AutoIT (Version 1.79 Jul 16 2009 18:30:31) that I wrote the program in after tidying up some of the things in the script everything was working the way it should. I also found a typo from my side after an full investigation of 7500 code lines ...... I know there must be a easier  and better way of repeating the same function for differant buttons but I am learing one step at a time .......

Thanks to everyone who had a look at this ......... 

Regards,

CHOVIE
