After a dozen consecutive runs with no failures (I hate saying that as it is typically the tipping point where things go wrong), I can say I'm happy with the working of the script. Hopefully I won't have to come back with a new request for help. I don't think it is the MS path string limit (255 char...

I don't know how I lost it in the code I copied but I have a wait statement just before the "//"Kill" RunProject.exe" portion of the script. I apologize for this error and wasting peoples time on the code which was not accurate. Correct code follows: //Variables Let>loopcounter=-1 GetDate>vToday Let...

I have added the "TestForProcessComplete" script snippet right after the repeat loopcounter line. I no longer think it is necessary, but it is nice to be sure that RunProject is close, and it is way more efficient than a simple "Wait>n" statement. I now have a new idea where my problem really lies. ...

I've only added a "WAIT>10" after the "Repeat>LoopCounter". My logic is that after the script completes: 1 - "wait>RunTimeSec" -times out starting 2 - //"Kill" RunProject.exe VBSTART set wmi = getobject("winmgmts:") sQuery = "select * from win32_process where name = 'RunProject.exe'" set processes =...

I'm really confused. The processes all close, before the script loops around for the test phase. But the last loop of the script will more often than not incorrectly show some number of files as missing. The good news is that it is not the logic of my script. I can be comfortable with that at least....

Yes the process does stay open. It appears I am struggling against two competing requirements. 1 - The script to continue and reloop at the end of the "runtimesec" count 2- The script to wait for the processes to close before running the test portion of the script. As I write this I think the answer...

The "Label>TestForProcessComplete" works as advertised. Many Thanks My problem is now getting "wait>RunTimeSec" to be able to timeout and restart the loop. Sometimes the individual RunProjects need to be restarted, they appear to enter some sort of stupid state which is why I have built the script t...

I need all the "run>"C:\Program Files\VWR\RunProject.exe" "%Path%\Projects\XXX.rip" routines to run concurrently, then wait, then run the Test to complete. "Let>RP_WAIT" waits for each section of the script to complete then allows the next run to start, etc. I tried putting "Let>RP_WAIT=1" before th...

No I don't. I didn't think it necessary as the files are created (and the "Let>runtimehour=n" leaves a long time after programs end before the loop goes around to tests), but I will add and report back.

Thanks

First the files are deleted (from previous runs): //Delete VWR Output Files DeleteFile>%Path%\Output\R*.* DeleteFile>%Path%\Output\Y*.* DeleteFile>%Path%\Output\Interactive*.* Wait>10 Later this section creates the files: //Test & Run VWR Scrapes IfFileExists>%Path%\Output\R_Estimates_a\R_Estimates_...

The script below is only a partial of the entire script; missing are another 6 test and run sections. The "//Test If Files Exist" portion of the script works but randomly. I can run the script and all of the routines properly execute, files are saved in the proper locations but on completion the mes...

So simple, once you know; so hard to know.

Thanks for the answer this was really starting to bug me.

I use the following partial code //Set RunTime in Hours Let>RuntimeHr=0.03 Let>RunTimeMin=RunTimeHr*60 Let>RunTimeSec=RunTimeMin*60 //Time Calculation & Screen Message Box - All Attempts VBEval>DateAdd("m",%RunTimeHr%,now),LoopEndTime Let>MSG_STAYONTOP=1 Message>Loop Run Time: %RunTimeHr% Hour(s) / ...

I found/modified the following VBS script to finds the oldest file in a directory of a particular extension. The date stamp of the file is stored in a variable datMax. I need to execute the last line of the script with the datMax variable. Problem is it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong or is this...

I'm curious why you would not want to get rid of the nag.

I've had the same issue, and my solution was a registry mod to get past the window, but if I am doing something wrong or ill advised I'd like to know.

Thanks
