Loops and fileExists issue

[akshatgupta]

I want to save a screenshot of the screen in a particular folder with different names.

like img0, img1, img2,...

I tried using the while loop first

$fileCount = 0
    $exists = 1
    While $exists = 1
        $exists = FileExists(@ScriptDir & "\searches\img" & $fileCount & ".PNG")
        ConsoleWrite(@ScriptDir & "\searches\img" & $fileCount & ".PNG")
        $fileCount = $fileCount + 1
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd

    $fileCount = $fileCount - 1
    $screenShot = _ScreenCapture_Capture("")
    _ScreenCapture_SaveImage(@ScriptDir & "\searches\img" & $fileCount & ".jpg", $screenShot)

this function does not search for the next possible file name instead it just overwrites the file with number initialized with $fileCount

then I did the same thing using do...Until loop

$fileCount = 0
    $exists = 1
    Do
        $exists = FileExists(@ScriptDir & "\searches\img" & $fileCount & ".PNG")
        ConsoleWrite(@ScriptDir & "\searches\img" & $fileCount & ".PNG")
        $fileCount = $fileCount + 1
        Sleep(100)
    Until $exists = 1

    $fileCount = $fileCount - 1
    $screenShot = _ScreenCapture_Capture("")
    _ScreenCapture_SaveImage(@ScriptDir & "\searches\img" & $fileCount & ".jpg", $screenShot)

this ends up being an infinite loop

I cant see the issue here 

i am new to autoit

Why not use FileFindFirstFile() and FileFindNextFile() functions, check with help file.

something like this:

$sFilePath = @ScriptDir & "\"

$hSearch = FileFindFirstFile($sFilePath & "*.png")
$aFileName = FileFindNextFile($hSearch)
