Hi,

I have VDS 3.51 and can't work out how to have a timer without locking up the application. I'm sure it's very simple but I just can't see it.

Also I'm creating a script that opens a command line program and then passes the contents of a list file using the @next command to open many windows until the next command hits the end of the file.

If I replace run with info I can see that the command line is being passed correctly until it reaches the end of the file then I get one last info box that contain the comand line with the variables (as in %z instead on an IP address). If I use run inplace of info then I get into a big loop and it keeps opening windows and not exiting.
The affending section of code is

Hey Mark

There's a few ideas for ending your loop. You could actually load your list and then use list seek 1,0 to get you to the beginning and then do an @count of the number of records in the file. If you know that the last record is always going to be the dud then your repeat until would be
until you have gone thru as many times you have actual records.

hi bd,

just a minor observation with your code...vds does not support ";" for comments like other languages do...and certainly not on the same line...you need to use REM on a fresh line for your comments Very Happy

Hey Serge

Just threw it in for comment is all, Normally I do put in the Rem just a wee bit lazy this evening.
Its unfortunate Sad

that we can't comment on the same line like that. Oh well. C'est la vie.

fair enough, bd...didn't know if you knew...i agree that it would be nice if we could do that Very Happy

I did think of setting it to count but I need to be able to ad and remove entries from the file, so the number would be changing.

I'll try the timer with evloop code though.

Thanks

If it makes things easier here's the full code. (I know it's a mess but I'm still learning Smile

Hi Mark

Just taking a look at the code. I will get back to you.

Ok, so I have made a few changes and added a couple of variables for you.
I made the timer so that it would only run when the time hits but you have to hit run. Had to put AM PM or it wouldn't work on my system, yours might be diff. Changed a bit of code but mainly added the timer section which is really the time IF that you originally had in the runbutton section. And added the counters in the run button section.

Have a go, I'm not sure about the rest of the stuff your running but the timer and the loop work. Wink

Good luck.

Here's the code

Thanks for that the only problem no is that the other buttons don't work Confused

I can't add more subnets or look at the about box or even close the program!

Thanks
Mark
(So close but so f.....)

Hey Mark

Like I said the timer works the rest of the code I didn't have time to test. This ought to work...
By the way shouldn't you also have a button to remove subnets?

I have done a little more testing and I think that the list is reading through ok, the last record does not appear erroneous so I have rem the line to remove the last record. I also changed the fadd and fsub to succ and pred, nicer way of doing this. Also changed the wait to 5 sec from .5 not much sense looping code that many times just uses up cycles.

Hi BD,

I can't thank you enough for getting this working Laughing

I would have had a remove button aswell but I didn't know how to do it Embarassed

Thanks again

Hi,

Just testing the code and I've noticed that it only goes through the list of subnets that are listed in the code and not the ones that are in the 'subnets.dat' file. Therefore subnets that have been added are not used.

Thank's for all your help
Mark

I would like to be able to use php-style comments... like '//' and '/* this is some text */' Confused
