if then statement

[apache]

hi there,

i wana use

if then, else if statement. i put this

If ProcessExists (help.Exe) Then

MsgBox(4096,"", "Value might be hexadecimal!")

Else

ShellExecute ("help.exe")

EndIf

simply i want my application to do nothing if the help.exe in alredy opened, but it uses condition MsgBox(4096,"", "Value might be hexadecimal!"). please tell me how i can fix it.

If you don't want it to do anything under one condition, then you don't need an else.

If Not ProcessExists("help.exe") then ShellExecute("help.exe")

[apache]

actually if the help file is already opened, it should not do anything. and if not opened then it should open help.exe through shell execute.

If you don't want it to do anything under one condition, then you don't need an else.

If Not ProcessExists("help.exe") then ShellExecute("help.exe")

skruge's solution does what you are asking.

Alternatively you could also simply comment out (or delete) the MsgBox line:

If ProcessExists(help.Exe) Then
    ;MsgBox(4096, "", "Value might be hexadecimal!")
Else
    ShellExecute("help.exe")
EndIf

I wanna try

If ProcessExists("help.exe") = 0 then ShellExecute("help.exe")

[apache]

leaving blank msg box do not show any msg. wen i del the complete msg box line, it show the error for then condition

is there any command to pause script?

no way without box?

If you just want to pause it for a set period of time use sleep()

If you want to pause it till a certain condition

while $condition = false

sleep(100)

wend

or

do

sleep(100)

untill $condition = true

[apache]

@ youknowwho

i wana use shell execute as a "else" statement

this (If ProcessExists("help.exe") = 0 then ShellExecute("help.exe)

shows this

C:\Documents and Settings\vindos\Desktop\new.au3(1,52) : ERROR: syntax error (illegal character)

If ProcessExists("help.exe") = 0 then ShellExecute("

[youknowwho4eva]

Your missing a "

this (If ProcessExists("help.exe") = 0 then ShellExecute("help.exe")

i've been using ""

sleep(100)

untill $condition = true

it will just make sleep for some moments

what if i use

sleep(2147483647) for 24 day?????

lol

[youknowwho4eva]

no a do until loop will sleep until the set condition is true. What ever you want to set that condition to.

Same with the while loop except inverse. It will repeat the sleep until the condition is no longer not true (so I guess not inverse)

[apache]

can u paste my complete script with your idea

actually i cant understand

$condition=true

here

If ProcessExists("help.Exe") Then

sleep(100)

untill $condition=true

Else

ShellExecute("help.exe")

EndIf

is it correct?

Try learning some programming/scrip basics before starting to script.

Open the helpfile and look at the commands used in your little piece of code and sort out what is wrong.
