Do While loop 3 times

[ajtsystems]

Hi,

I have a simple do while loop which calls a function to check ping status. Is there a way I can loop it say 5 times then quit? I need to wait for 1 minute then assume computer not coming back!


do while reachable(IPAddress) = false
wscript.sleep 10000
If Reachable(IPAddress) Then
wscript.echo "Ping back"
Else
WScript.Echo "Computer is Unreachable!"
End If
loop

I have been looking at the for i = 1 to 5 but tis isnt workign...

Thanks

hi,

dim i as integer

do while reachable(IPAddress) = false
wscript.sleep 10000
If Reachable(IPAddress) Then
wscript.echo "Ping back"
Else 
WScript.Echo "Computer is Unreachable!"
End If
i=i+1
if i=5 then exit do
loop

Skip,

_{Just traded in my old subtlety...
for a NUANCE!}

Hi,

Yes that seems to work. Is there a way to echo to the screen if perhaps i=5 and reachable is still false?

do while reachable(IPAddress) = false

wscript.sleep 10000
If Reachable(IPAddress) Then
wscript.echo "Ping back"
Else
WScript.Echo "Computer is Unreachable!"
End If
i=i+1
if i=5 then exit do
loop

Maybe something like
if i=5 & reachable = false wscript.echo "Ooops, something went wrong

Change

if i=5 then exit do

to:

if i = 5 and Not reachable then
  wscript.echo("Oops, something went wrong!")
  exit do
end if

Also, the i=i+1 statement should be the last thing before the "loop" statement.
