Sorry to reopen this old topic.

But what is the longest time this loop will wait?

Do
    Sleep(99)
    $try = $try + 1
    If $try = 100 Then ExitLoop
Until FileExists("w:\")

The loop is made by herewasplato from the post above.

Thank you!

Thank you!

it will wait until the path really exists.

Then what is the difference to this:

Do
    Sleep(99)
Until FileExists(.....
;other code here

?

I am new to scripting...

but it will use much process usage.

$try=0
Do
    Sleep(99)
    $try = $try + 1
    If $try = 100 Then ExitLoop
Until FileExists("w:\")

This code from herewasplato waits ~ 100*100 ms -> 10 seconds

Correct :-)

...but just to be clear, that code was a modification of what lxxl posted.

I am not a big fan of using counters like $try = $try + 1 when a For/Next loop will work.

See my post above for the For/Next version that I would use instead.
