Pause for x amount

[Skrip]

In a bat script, how to you make it pause for 0.5 seconds, then continue?

Here's a way of sleeping your scripts, but there are a sleep.exe witch is possible to download from MS. Or you could create one.

Inn this example it sleeps 10 sec's.

PING -n 10 127.0.0.1>nul

Ping the loopback? haha, creative.

Heres something simple:

command line parameter:

sleep for 500 ms: scriptname.exe/au3 ms "500"

sleep for 10 secounds: scriptname.exe/au3 s/sec/secound "10"

If UBound($CmdLine) > 0 Then
    Switch $CmdLine[1]
        Case "ms","MS"
            Sleep($CmdLine[2])
        Case "sec","secound","s"
            Sleep($CmdLine[2]*1000)
        Case "min","minute","m","minutes"
            Sleep($CmdLine[2]*1000*60)
        Case "hour","h","hours"
            Sleep($CmdLine[2]*1000*60*60)
    EndSwitch
EndIf

oops i did fail to check if it did work as intended though, and have a slight feeling it wont work as it should.

After checking it, the script itself works but whitout effect on my bat file
