IfNotExist pause

[sttrebo]

having a problem with a short piece of code. all it needs to do is check for the existence (or not) of a file then execute something. since the script is run over a network there is some delay in getting the response from the remote machine.

here is the code:

Code: Select all

IfNotExist, %A_Temp%\AHK.txt
	{
	sleep, 5000
	DriveGet, List, List, Fixed
	Loop Parse, List
		Loop %A_LoopField%:\_DropBox_Location.,1,1
		DB_Path := A_LoopFileDir
	}
msgbox, %db_path%
IniWrite, %DB_Path%, %A_Temp%\AHK.txt, DropBox, Location

IniRead, DB_Path, %A_Temp%\AHK.txt, DropBox, Location
IniRead, Mach_Name, %A_Temp%\AHK.txt, Machine, Name
startup_file = AHK Startup - %Mach_Name%.ahk
msgbox, %db_path%\AHK\%startup_file%
exitapp

no matter what i try, i cannot get it to wait for a response for the first line (ifnotexist, .....). also, when i add a sleep command as the first line under the first {, the sleep command seems to be ignored). any ideas?

oops, nevermind. found the problem with the script. dumb mistake, i needed to move the iniwrite line into the loop parse sequence. old age sucks sometimes...

You are also missing brackets around your loop block, don't know if you caught that as well.

yes, caught that when i moved the iniwrite statement. but thanks.
