Pause script momentarily after x no. of presses.

[theSkareqro]

I want my script to loop for 300 times after which it pauses for an X amount of time before restarting.

$a = 0
Do
(my command here)
$a += 1
Until $a = 300

I know Do...Until will only run for 300 loops before it ends. Another one I figured out is:

While 1
(my command here)
wend

This will run infinitely. I'm really unsure when to insert sleep() or are there other commands to do this.
If you must know, this is my first time scripting. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

Do not exit the loop but check if the counter is divisable by 300 and then do the needed sleep.

Local $a = 0
While 1
    (my command here)
    $a += 1
    If $a==300 Then
        Sleep(500)
        $a = 0
    EndIf
WEnd
