Hi Gang!
I want to check for a file's existence and then move on in the code.
I want to wait about 10 seconds to see if the file shows up in a certain folder.... if so, great... process it and display it's data..
If not, then show a messagebox and let the user know of the files non-existence.
I was thinking along these lines....
DO WHILE (less than 10 seconds elapsed)
IF FILE('THEFILE.TXT')
PROCESS THE FILE
EXIT
ELSE
MESSAGEBOX ABOUT FAILURE
EXIT
ENDIF
ENDDO
How would I time out the 10 seconds and take care of the passing midnight situation?
Or am I totally whacked and there is some easier and more logical manner to this?
Thanks!!
