Sleep () Help

[alinashul]

Hello ,

I whant to make something like , lets say a InputBox where user inputs a delay ( sleep) in SECONDS

Ex :

$delay = InputBox ( "Delay " , "Input your delay below , IN SECONDS")

This $delay will go into a Sleep ()

But as we all know Sleep() works with milliseconds , how do i transform those seconds in miliseconds ? and get those transformed milliseconds in the Sleep ()

Thank you

how would you do it on your calculator?

well i guess the seconds that that users inputs multiplicated with 1000 no ?

ex : 5*1000 = 5000 miliseconds ......

But i dont know how to write a code to do that

Jos don't tease him :-)

$delay = InputBox ( "Delay " , "Input your delay below , IN SECONDS")

Sleep($delay * 1000)

Sleep($delay * 1000)

OMG OMG , ok now im embarrassed , IT WAS SO EASY , i coul not think of this think not in a milion years

thank you and sry for wasting your time

I am not teasing, just trying to force people to think and try something themselves before posting questions like this.

Sounds like you have spend some time on reading up on programming but skipped the basics pages?

I wasn't really trying to put you on the stop personally, just trigger the "grey cells" with my question.

i know nothing about programming languages ) i just know a bit of autoit ( because its simple to learn ) and the help file is GODLIKE )

and probably because i'm so tired ) all day working on this program )

in your shoes ..

i would have ended up doing something like

$delay = imput....

$delay = delay * 1000

sleep($delay)

but thats only coz im half asleep and my personal script is debugging so

the sleep function will not work .. meaning im gonna overlay tomorrow >.<

$multiple = InputBox ( "Delay " , "Input your delay below , IN SECONDS")

for $i = 1 to $multiple

sleep(1000)

next

I think you should have spent some time thinking about how to convert between seconds and miliseconds. I do believe (without looking) the helpfile even comments on converting...

Cheers,

If fact it was too easy. Therefor it's cheating and you are obliged to come up with an involuted solution immediately!!

Do you never know what you are ralking about? Windows XP Professional has the same shutdown dialog. The other versions probably has it too.

[zac23]

this also give me an idea for a diferent script slightly i dont like working in miliseconds so this will help

$delay = InputBox ( "Delay " , "Input your delay below , IN SECONDS")

MsgBox(1,"mili",$delay * 1000)

actually.. i DO know what im talking about... and your probably right also but at my school we use XP pro and the shutdown dialog is different... the login is different... on the ones at my school the code would be

send("{LWIN}")
Send("{UP}")
send("{ENTER}")
; Send("{UP}") do this as many times until SHUTDOWN is highlighted IF THE default isn't set at Shutdown if it is like LOGOFF or something...
Send("{ENTER}")

thats for the Pro computers at my school.... but their setting may be different.. from other Pro ones... im not sure but that is why i said that wouldn't work on every PC
