when he press no i wanna let him choose the time to run script, and after the time gone it ask again if run the script or wait again(i wanna backup outlook files and i cant close the program when my manager write some important mails so i let him choose the time).

thanks anyways

; Prompt the user to run the script - use a Yes/No prompt (4 - see help file)

$answer = MsgBox(4, "AutoIt Example (English Only)", "run backup now?")

; Check the user's answer to the prompt (see the help file for MsgBox return values)

; If "No" was clicked (7) then exit the script

If $answer = 7 Then

MsgBox(0, "choose time to run backup")

EndIf

; Run MSDos

Run("notepad.exe")

WinWaitActive("[CLASS:Notepad]")

Hello,

If $answer = 7

This will put the value "7" inside the variable "$answer".

For testing if the variable "$answer" is equal to the value "7", you need to use the double equal sign like this:

If $answer == 7

Hi Neutro - please double-check your post.

AutoIt "=" and "==" are not like in C/C++, like you described. Both can be used for comparison.

If $answer = 7

This will put the value "7" inside the variable "$answer".

See http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/intro/lang_operators.htm

A double equal (==) would be used to check two strings if they are case-sensitive equal. So niruse you are correct with $answer = 7.

If $answer = 7 Then
Local $minutes = InputBox("Postpone backup", "How many minutes to postpone the backup?", 10) ; question box, default to 10 minutes
Sleep($minutes*60000) ; Sleep is in msecs, so multiply input in minutes by 60*1000 to have it in msecs
EndIf

; Run MSDos
Run("notepad.exe")
WinWaitActive("[CLASS:Notepad]")
