Thanks,

"Object required: wscript.sleep "
(I'm fairly new with Vbscript).

Yes.
At the begiiniing of my HTML file I run a Vbscript that unzips a file,which is later on accessed from the HTML <body> and used as a HTML background.
What I need is to delay the HTML biuilding till the VBscript unzip operation is over.
How do I achieve it ?

Since you're calling an external .vbs file...if you're using WScript.Shell and the Run method, just set the waitonreturn.
i.e. objShell.Run "cscript somescript.vbs", 0, True
If inside the script you call you're calling the app to unzip then make sure to do the same thing.
objShell.Run "unzipapp.exe file.zip", 0, True
Alternately, you might call another .vbs file to do the sleeping for you using the first method I mentioned.

Thanks,
To clarify:
The VBscript is INTERNAL inside my HTML. It apperas at the beginning of the HTML file,before the body.
So I'm not calling anything external,just need to delay the HTML building somehow till end of zip.

Yes,I understand.
However my implementation requires the delay to be internal in the HTML - I can not want to call external files.

try this one:
an HTML method called setInterval that enables you to “schedule” a block of code to run periodically.
GetFreeDiskSpace is a sub in vbscript in your hta.
120000 is 120 seconds (2 minutes).
an HTML method called setInterval that enables you to “schedule” a block of code to run periodically.
Code:
iTimerID = window.setInterval("GetFreeDiskSpace", 120000)120000 is 120 seconds (2 minutes).
The is also a window.setTimeout:
With an HTA though, I just find it so much easier to have a sleep.vbs that accepts as an argument the sleep length and helps me control the pauses as needed.

if you're waiting for zip to produce a file, if it takes longer than the allowed time, then you may run into a problem. you can alternatively, do a loop that cheks for the "exist"ence of that file that you're waiting for. if it finds it, then you exit the loop and continue your work.
do until file_found
check the existence of file using fso methods
if file exists, file_found = true
loop
rest of your code.

PHV,
My actual unzip code that appears at the beginning of my HTML,before the "body" tag is :
<script language=VBScript>
set objShell=CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
File3 = "C:\Program Files\WinZip\winzip32.exe"
strTemp = document.url
If Left(strTemp, 7) = "file://" Then
strTemp = Right(strTemp, Len(strTemp) - 7)
strCurrentFolder = Left(strTemp, InStrRev(strTemp, "\"))
strCurrentFolder = replace(strCurrentFolder, "%20", " ")
FullPath = (strCurrentFolder & "\POSSUP_KM_301_20070503_pod.zip")
FullPath1 = chr(34) & FullPath & chr(34)
End If
strCommand = "C:\Program Files\Pod Check tool\unzip.exe"
strCommand = chr(34) & strCommand & chr(34) & " -q -o " & chr(34) & FullPath & chr(34) & " -d d:\TEMP\POD "
if objFSO.FileExists (FullPath) then
if objFSO.FileExists (File3) then
objShell.Run("""%ProgramFiles%\WinZip\winzip32.exe"" -e -o " & FullPath1 & " D:\Temp\POD")
else
objShell.Run strCommand
end if
end if
objShell.Run("dir c:\")
</script>
===================================
I try first using "unzip" command,nad if not found - I run the "winzip".
I HAVE to use only ONE HTML (no HTA),that's how the job is implemented.
My customers runs a Perl script that creats just 1 HTML file on his desktop with ALL the system info inside it,plus cretaes an extra zip file with large logs inside it.
Thanks

This is not delayed in the sense asked. This is synchroneity: sytem doing one time after another which is actually needed.
[tt]
if objFSO.FileExists (FullPath) then
if objFSO.FileExists (File3) then
objShell.Run[highlight] [/highlight]"""%ProgramFiles%\WinZip\winzip32.exe"" -e -o " & FullPath1 & " D:\Temp\POD"[highlight],[/highlight][red]0,1[/red]
else
objShell.Run strCommand[red],0,1[/red]
end if
end if
objShell.Run "[red]%comspec% /k [/red]dir c:\"
[/tt]
That script section should be placed at the top before the body.

Thanks,
ended up using delay as following,using just the "user" dos command as a delay:
do until file_found
if objFSO.FileExists (File4) then
file_found = true
end if
objShell.Run("user")
loop
</script>

Finally,used the following code that worked best for my needs:
===================================================
Sub ccSleep(seconds)
cmd = "%COMSPEC% /c ping -n " & 1 + seconds & " 127.0.0.1>nul"
objShell.Run cmd,0,1
End Sub
do until file_found
if objFSO.FileExists (File4) then
file_found = true
end if
ccSleep 1
loop
Thanks to all !
