While.... Wend And Loops

[kw_rock]

Ok, I'm having trouble with this concept..

It's a basic idea, but I think has too indepth of a way to make it work.

Say I want to insert the letter A, B, and C.

But I want to insert A every 3 seconds, B every 5 seconds, and C every 8 seconds...

How do I create a little snippet that would allow that? Because you can't use more than 1 While....WEnd command back to back?

I've tried a few different ways, but nothing works for me.

Please help! It's not a difficult idea and shouldn't require more than 10 lines to do, so please help.

maybe

$begin1 = TimerInit()
$begin2 = TimerInit()
$begin3 = TimerInit()

While 1
    
    
    
    $dif1 = TimerDiff($begin1)
    If $dif1 >= 3000 Then
        MsgBox(0, "Time Difference 1", $dif1, 1)
    ; Send("A")
        $begin1 = TimerInit()
    EndIf
    
    $dif2 = TimerDiff($begin2)
    If $dif2 >= 5000 Then
        MsgBox(0, "Time Difference 2", $dif2, 1)
    ; Send("B")
        $begin2 = TimerInit()
    EndIf
    
    $dif3 = TimerDiff($begin3)
    If $dif3 >= 8000 Then
        MsgBox(0, "Time Difference 3", $dif3, 1)
    ; Send("C")
        $begin3 = TimerInit()
    EndIf
    
WEnd

just remove the message boxes and the semi-colins

Hi,

nice Valuater. Maybe my easy solution works as well

HotKeySet("{esc}", "end")

Dim $i = 0

While 1
    Sleep(1000)
    $i += 1
    Select
        Case $i = 3
            Send("A")
        case $i = 5
            Send("B")
        case $i = 8
            Send("C")
            $i = 0
    EndSelect
WEnd

Func end()
    Exit(0)
EndFunc

So long,

Mega

you need more than one variable to keep the timing correct

HI,

after C was sent. --> in the 3rd case statement. yes, it won't be that correct, but it is easy to understand and I didn't know whether he / she needs that exact time.

look again... its not going to work at 6 seconds or 10 seconds... etc

6 seconds is the 2nd "A"... and 10 seconds is the 2nd "B"... etc

you know... now that i think about it

i answered his question... as he asked it... but

I think YOU answered what he/she really wanted ( and he just didn't explain it very good )

lol...oh-well

BTW

i liked your mili-second script... i put it in the autoit wrappers thread

In stead of using $i = 3 you should use MathCheckDivide or write your own. In that case it will work, and you shouldn't reset I anywhere.

I felt I was descriptive enough...

All I said was, every 3 seconds A needs to be send, every 6 B needs to be sent and every 8 C needs to be sent.

They have to go off at exact times, and have to loop... Not just do it once.. but send A like infinity times.. lol

Valuater gave you what you asked for specifically... Did it work?

[kw_rock]

YEAH! It worked perfectly, and it kinda helped me add more functions and such... Thanks! It worked great.
