Pause the script until ShellExecute is finished

[KickStarter15]

Hi Experts,

I've got a small issue right now about opening a file .log and .xml where I need to pause first the script up until these two files were closed.

ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\Log\Validator.log")
    Sleep(2000)
    ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\Sample.xml") ; pause the script here until this xml will close.

I tried "WinWait()" and "WinWaitActive()" but the script will continue after few seconds declared and if I won't add the second to display, the script won't continue.

Any idea how to handle this Experts?

 

Thanks in advance.

Seems to be easy. Just check the 2 pid's: ShellExecute return's a Pid for each process you start, so just loop until both ended.

 

So this:

$sPid1 = ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\Log\Validator.log")
    Sleep(2000)
$sPid2 = ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\Sample.xml") ; pause the script here until this xml will close.
$bOK =False
Do
    $bOK = Not ProcessExists($pid1)
    If $bOK Then $bOK = Not ProcessExists($pid2)
    sleep(100)
Until $bOK

should do your job.

Thanks @AutoBert. it's working. However, i switch the $sPid1 and $sPid2 to work. Thanks!
