And/Or Issue? [CLOSED]

[IAMK]

I observed 2 misbehaviours. Is the issue my understanding or AutoIT itself?

My script is supposed to sleep until 1 of 2 desired colours is seen.

While(PixelGetColor(260, 975) <> 39922 Or PixelGetColor(260, 975) <> 41714)
    Sleep(500)
WEnd

The above should sleep if colour1 is true and colour2 is false? Mine didn't sleep. (I guess Or moves left->right until first pass is seen)

While(PixelGetColor(260, 975) <> 39922 And PixelGetColor(260, 975) <> 41714)
    Sleep(500)
WEnd

The above should sleep if both colours are false? Mine didn't sleep if colour2 was true. (Note this is the code I currently use but don't understand why it's failing).

Can't tell you what the limitations of While Expressions are, but it appears that it only likes a single expression, for example:

While PixelGetColor(260, 975) <> 39922
    Sleep(500)
WEnd

However you can use multiple expressions within the loop for example:

While 1
    If PixelGetColor(260, 975) = 39922 Or PixelGetColor(260, 975) = 41714 Then ExitLoop
    Sleep(500)
WEnd

This issue is resolved. The issue was not the logic, but the file being used.

Your first snippet didn't work for me, unless I used the If statement, I'm not really sure "the file being used" is referring to.

@Subz, I was editing the script on machine1, but testing the exe on machine2, of which the IP is different by 1 number...
