Do ... Until ... Static8 contains ...

[revonatu]

Hi guys,

I didn't find an answer to my problem in other do until topics, that's why I am here.

I need to pause my script until the text in a static control changes to something like "File prepared" or "New image".

Here is what I tried:

Do
      Sleep(500)
      $Status = ControlGetText("Prepare and Resize", "", "[CLASS:Static; Instance:8]")
Until
      StringInStr($Status, "prepared") > 0

 

AutoIt doesn't like it after "Until" and complains: Statement cannot be just an expression.

Is there another way to say that a word shall be included in a static control?

Glad for help.

That StringInStr line should go right after Until (on the same line, not on a new one). You should currently have two errors: one syntax error on the line Until because there's no expression behind it, and one on the StringInStr line because it is considered a separate statement on a separate line, and a statement "cannot just be an expression"...

So: just concatenate the last two lines and you should be golden. Good luck

Clear case of not to see the wood for the trees.

Thank you for the fast answer.
