Trouble with a while and if statement

[CaptainBeardsEyesBeard]

Hi 

Running my tests I've found my application (Elite) crashes after 8 tests or so. It's because it's a bit buggy. 

 

So I wanted to write a while loop that basically runs my function unless the non responsive box comes up (elite crashes) 

Func Add_A_Matter($ClientNumber,$MatterNumber) 


While 1
   if WinExists(["CLASS:DirectUIHWND1"]) then
      ;Wait 10 seconds before killing the application
      Sleep(10000)
      if WinExists(["CLASS:DirectUIHWND1"]) then
         ;restart elite
        ProcessClose("Enterprise.exe")
        Else
         EndIf
      Else



; Add a matter functions blah blah 



     EndIf
      ExitLoop
   WEnd

EndFunc

The above looks ok to me but I'm getting error in expression

"C:\EliteAutomation\Tests\TEST2_Add_A_Matter.au3" (10) : ==> Error in expression.:
if WinExists(["CLASS:DirectUIHWND1"]) then
if WinExists(^ ERROR
>Exit code: 1    Time: 1.084

Change this

if WinExists(["CLASS:DirectUIHWND1"]) then

to

if WinExists("[CLASS:DirectUIHWND1]") then

Just an FYI to the OP, neither of those Else statements are needed unless you're putting something in there before the EndIf.

As written, the ExitLoop forces the loop to stop after a single iteration, so the While loop would be unneeded as well.

Thanks that was an annoying error! 

 

If I don't need the while statement would it still check if the non responsive box has appeared? 

I basically want it to continuously check if that box has appeared through out the tests

@CaptainBeardsEyesBeard Only you can answer that question because you haven't indicated how the posted function is being called by the rest of your script.
