Help me with my script!

[phatzilla]

Basically i figured out the rest of my script but am missing a part.

What i want it is to do this:

First of all, the script will not 'start' (Or rather, will 'wait')untill it detects an internet connection.(How do i do that?)

Next

It Does a check for a certain file in my c drive (lets call it C:\xxx.jpg).

Now, If this file exists, it just ends the script and that's all.

But, if the file Doesn't exist, then it will proceed to download it from (www.xxx.com/xxx.jpg).

Then it will proceed to run the file. Then it will exit.

Can i get any help on this? Thanks in advance.

something like this

TCPStartup()
while TCPNameToIP("www.google.com") = ""
    Sleep (5000)
WEnd

If NOT FileExists ("C:\xxx.jpg") then InetGet("http://www.xxx.com/xxx.jpg", "C:\xxx.jpg", 1, 0)

TCPShutdown ( )

hey, if you don't know a code, u can always use the AutoIt Help that's given to you

in the AutoIt installation.

Or you can use the online help:

here's the answer:

So the way im understanding it is every 5 seconds it will check for an active internet connection (By trying to reach google.com) and untill it pings it successfully it wont continue the program?

Pretty much yeah, it doesn't ping it just resolves the name to IP if it resolves the name then there is a connection if not it just loops and checks every 5 seconds
