keilamym Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 is there an easy way to loop in a script, based on a window or variable? example - if a window or file doesn't appear, i want the script to loop a process (not using winwait) example. look for c:\complete.txt if it does not exist, sleep for 5 seconds then look again. if it finds it, then continue processing the script, if it does not, look again. In version2, i would use goto commands with error levels, but goto doesn't exist in 3? any help would be appreciated. keilamym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
