How do I "do until" a folder exists?
|
I was finaly able to get the HTML script to generate the proper code. Thanks everyone!!
Now on to a problem I thought I had already solved.
The HTML document is to be placed into a folder that will not always be there. It's generated by an ancient program that we still have to use. I tried using @pid but that doesn't work because the folder isn't there when the program start but is generated at a later time. I'm thinking I can have a do loop until the folder appears then execute the script. Will that work? How do I do that?

How about this?
Code:
Break on
;
While Exist("c:\somefolder") <> 1
Sleep 60
Loop
;
?"Folder exists."
?"Starting an other script."
Call "c:\somescript.kix"

Made a typo. Fixed that.

BTW: @PID returns the process ID of kix32 or wkix32 and not a process ID for an other application.

Got it to work like this:
Do sleep 6
Until Exist("C:\directory") <> 0
Thanks for all your help.

Even beter.
This also deals with files with the same name as the folder is supposed to have.
Was thinking about doing that in my first post but I’m feeling lazy this week (thank god I'm leaving for a small vacation next week) and I’m low on silver platters
