limit time for a function

[Arclite86]

somethime a function takes to much time it may get stuck or just fail, is there a way to limit the time for a function so it can continue running the next functions?

Can you post a recreation of this? Because I've never experienced this problem.

You can add "error checking" to exit the function.

no its not an error i have an function that i got from a previous post, but because this is a new subject/question i started this one 

this is the script:  

Global $websiteread, $PingTimeout = 2000

Func _UrlExists($websiteread)
    If (StringLen(InetRead($websiteread, 1)) > 0) Then Return 1
    If Ping($websiteread, $PingTimeout) Then Return 2
    Return 0
EndFunc   ;==>__checkConn

    If _UrlExists($websiteread) Then
        ConsoleWrite("Exists" & @LF)
          
        ContinueLoop
    EndIf
    ConsoleWrite("Not Exists Or No Response in " & @LF)
  
    ConsoleWrite("not Exists" & @LF)

 

 

 

when this happens it works fine in less then a second (bellow)

 

If _UrlExists($websiteread) Then
        ConsoleWrite("Exists" & @LF)

 

but when this happens it can take up to 5 second, so i want it to skip after because it wil take to much time if you run this in a full script (bellow) 

EndIf
    ConsoleWrite("Not Exists Or No Response in " & @LF)
  
    ConsoleWrite("not Exists" & @LF)

You can't set a timeout for InetRead
