Running the action in loop till successfull.

[mohan93]

Hey Guys,

Need your help

In my script i want command to  run the loop till my action is getting completed.

I have 2 scenarios below
1. I give permission to %temp% folder using Icacls with the belwo command line.

   $objShell.Run("Icacls " & $TMP & " /Q /Deny Everyone:(OI)(CI)(DE,DC)")

  my total script has more than 100 lines, sometimes before executing the above line successfully only my script is going to next line.   I want to check whether the above action is completed successfully and then move to next step.
how to check for the same and run the commmand in loop till the action completed sucessfully.

2. the same with file copy also, i want to do the action in Loop till the file copy is successful.

(trying to copy a file starting with GLS in %temp% folder to my output folder.

FileCopy($TMP & "GLS*.*", $OutFolder)

Please assist.

 

Cheers.

Runwait ??

Edit:

2. run a verifier in a If Else Nested Loop.

This command applies permission to %temp% folder.

$objShell.Run("Icacls " & $TMP & " /Q /Deny Everyone:(OI)(CI)(DE,DC)")

Till the above command is sucessfull, we need to run the commandin loop. and same for file copying also

FileCopy($TMP & "GLS*.*", $OutFolder)

Or you could try the verifier with a Do Until (file is present)loop.

edit: spelling

 

Something like this:

Do
   FileCopy($TMP & "\*.gls", $OutFolder)
Until FileExists($OutFolder & "\*.gls") = 1

This looks wrong to me:

FileCopy($TMP & "\GLS*.*", $OutFolder)

try this (unless of course it is working for you)   

FileCopy($TMP & "\*.gls", $OutFolder)

Thanks l3ill

for file copy i will go with Do untill command as you suggested.

But for the below command, how to check whether the command executed sucessfully.

$objShell.Run("Icacls " & $TMP & " /Q /Deny Everyone:(OI)(CI)(DE,DC)")

This command gives deny permission to folder.

Have a look at  FileGetAttrib 

edit: BTW while your at it you can use the FileSetAttr as well for the above mentioned command...
