FOR loop counter seems to go down too fast

[JonM]

My script:

For $i = 90 to 1 Step -1

WinWaitActive("JPEG Option")

SEND("8{ENTER}")

Next

Needs a counter at least twice as big as the number of times I want it to run. In above example this script only runs on 43 files and not all 90.

If it is meaningful this script is when I am running a photoshop automate action.

Tried a few searches of forum but probably using wrong keywords as didn't find anything.

Any help appreciated.

Is that your whole script? I'm thinking its the program that is having a problem.

I would guess that perhaps the window does not disappear or become inactive fast enough after the Send, so what's happening is it loops twice before the window disappears.

Try adding something to check if the window has closed, or changed somehow before continuing the loop. Maybe something like

For $i = 90 to 1 Step -1
  WinWaitActive("JPEG Option") 
  SEND("8{ENTER}")
  WinWaitClose("JPEG Option")
Next

Many thanks, the WinWaitClose has solved my problem. I had assumed the WinWaitActive needed a new instance.
