Hi.

In the built-in search in the command documentation, I couldn't find something like The only thing I would have considered to have the action depend on I imagine that might slow the PC down in general as it's not very powerful.

Anyway, is there a way to have a script wait until a file exists, then execute any other command / action?
I hope so.

Thanks in advance.

if you are waiting for a file in a specific location you can use the if fileexist

Yes, Fileexist can even work with file patterns... and I would rather use SetTimer than a loop.
