Run only if two conditions are met?

[Diana (Cda)]

Some time back I recvd great help where WinExists was brought to my attention as a way to have the script not t proceed if it finds a particular file open.

However, I've never managed to get the syntax right for more than one condition though I've read the help file and scanned the forum several times since then. Can't get it to work yet. My latest attempt today is this:

If NOT WinExists(@ScriptDir & "\PUAC- LaunchIfNotRunning - DO NOT RUN APPS.txt") = True AND If Not ProcessExists("SayTime95.exe") = True THEN Run($ThisPartition & "\CLOCK\clockSpeech, SayTime 95 v4.05\APP- SayTime 95 v4.05\SayTime95.exe","", @SW_HIDE)

What is needed is:

- if the text file "PUAC- LaunchIfNotRunning - DO NOT RUN APPS.txt" is not open,

- AND

- "SayTime95.exe" is not running

- THEN

- LAUNCH "SayTime95.exe".

But the error keeps coming back that the "If" requires a "Then". So I've obviously goofed somewhere.

You simply have to remove the second "If":

If NOT WinExists(@ScriptDir & "\PUAC- LaunchIfNotRunning - DO NOT RUN APPS.txt") = True AND If Not ProcessExists("SayTime95.exe") = True THEN Run($ThisPartition & "\CLOCK\clockSpeech, SayTime 95 v4.05\APP- SayTime 95 v4.05\SayTime95.exe","", @SW_HIDE)

Well, d'uh! That's what's been holding me up all this time ... <g> Too funny. Tested it and works great. I simplified things by replacing everything with variables. Has made life easier.

;=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
$Condition1 = NOT WinExists(@ScriptDir & "\PUAC- LaunchIfNotRunning - DO NOT RUN APPS.txt")     ; text file is not open to disable condition
$Condition2 = NOT ProcessExists("SayTime95.exe")     ; SayTime is not running condition
$Condition3 = Not ProcessExists("wv_player.exe")     ; WavPlay is not running condition
$Condition4 = Not ProcessExists("CoolPlayer.exe")    ; CoolPlayer is not running condition
;------------------------------------------------
$ThisPartition = StringLeft(@ScriptDir, 2)
$Process2Run1 = $ThisPartition & "\CLOCK\clockSpeech, SayTime 95 v4.05\APP- SayTime 95 v4.05\SayTime95.exe"
$Process2Run2 = @ScriptDir & "\0- PAYDAY wakeup music 01 (3 songs).wav"
$Process2Run3 = @ScriptDir & "\Harry Potter music.m3u"
;=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=


If $Condition1 = True AND $Condition2 = True THEN Run($Process2Run1)     ; run SayTime if conditions met
Sleep(1500)
If $Condition1 = True and $Condition4 = True Then ShellExecute($Process2Run3)     ; run m3u if conditions met

Thanks!

Thank you, that works perfectly!

This is what I did with that, besides making everything into variables to make the syntax easier to deal with:

If $Condition1 = True AND $Condition2 = True THEN Run($Process2Run1)     ; run SayTime if conditions met
Sleep(1500)
If $Condition1 = True and $Condition4 = True THEN ShellExecute($Process2Run3)

Thanks!

[Diana (Cda)]

Is there a way, though, to run two THEN's, meaning, what if there is something like this:

If $Condition1 = True AND $Condition2 = True THEN Run($Process2Run1) AND Run($Process2Run2)

The above doesn't work but is there a way to have 2 things happen if one or more conditions met?

Thanks.

If $Condition1 = True AND $Condition2 = True THEN
    Run($Process2Run1) 
    Run($Process2Run2)
   ;anythiong else to be done if condition is true
Else
 ;anything to be done if condition is not true
EndIf

But isn't this clear from the help?

Seems like a good idea but doesn't work.

Maybe the nearest is to have

If $Condition1 And $Condition2 then runBoth()

Func RunBoth()
  Run($a)
  Run($b)
EndFunc

But you could have something like

If $cond1 And $Cond2 then Consolewrite(Run("cmd.exe") And Run("cmd.exe"))

Why Consolewrite() and not Call()? Edited October 10, 2008 by trancexx

This is not really good of us to show this stuff lol... but this does work:

Local $codition1 = 1, $condition2 = 1, $i_ret
If $codition1 And $condition2 Then $i_ret = Run("cmd.exe") & Run("cmd.exe")
ConsoleWrite($i_ret & @CRLF)oÝ÷ ØGb´    ݶ¬jëh×6Local $codition1 = 1, $condition2 = 1, $i_ret

Actually, I see now that I gave a bad example. I happened to give the one script that uses run (my bad). The majority use ShellExecute. Bad, bad ... <g>

It's a shame that nothing seems to work where everything is easily on one line like the example that doesn't work above. It would be tricky getting everything to work otherwise. The above workaround still uses 5 lines instead of 1 so my 3-line script above would translate into 15 lines. Yuck. <sigh> It's just that I foresee having another script that will use even 4 lines instead of my 3 here and it all would be just such a mess. I'll guess I'll have to live without the extra sleep and beeps that would make the script easier, that's what I needed to add. But adding all these extra lines would make "maintenance" and editing of such a script a nightmare esp. since I've been living without these extra sleepand beep "aids". I had them before I changed to the 2 conditions approach as shown here.

But thanks, everyone. I learn a lot every time I fine-tune a script to do more precisely what is needed. This 2 condition approach all on 1 script line allows me a much more efficient way to "disable" some scripts. I just will continue to not have the extras until I figure out an easy way to add them that doesn't add any more lines.

Thanks!

There's a lot of possible...heh...overkill in your script, like if saytime automatically closes itself after running, you could use runwait and do away with processwait...or if the file will still open w/ coolplayer running, you can simply add the shellexecute command to the list of things to do in the ifthen...only you can decide what to do with your script but those are some ideas.
