Wait for help

[PurpleGecko]

Is there a way to wait for more then one possible text string coming across the screen and not have it time out when only one of the strings come across and not the others?

Example

MySess.waitforstring ("TEST:"),("TERM")

Waiting for either TEST or TERM

I use a loop to accomplish this. I am ususally trying to do a Pass/Fail query.

Do while xxxxx <> "TEST:" and xxxx <> "TERM"
doevents 'free the system resources
Loop

calculus

What is the best way to set XXXXX to accomplish this?

Hi,

If you look at the Extra Document for the Screen object, there is an option to specify regular expression search:

object.WaitForString("TEST:|TERM",,,,,,xRegExp)

I have not tried it before, but I will try and let you know.
