Hi, I'm new with WScript. I want to use it to stop a loop in vbscript. Here is what I have. What else do I have to do to get this to run?

thanks,

<%
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
for x = 1 to 5
response.write " its about time" & "<br>"
WScript.Sleep 250
next
%>

Hi psguy7 and

"WScript.Sleep 250" is a statement that only works in "stand-alone" scripts (.vbs, .wsf)
When you use VbScript in a webpage (.html, .hta, .asp, ...) you'll need to use "window.setTimeout"

In stand-alone scripts:

The same in webpages becomes:

I don't think window.settimeout will work in this situation. This is server side code only. I need to control a loop in vbscript on the server, not in html. WScript.Sleep does not work either. How would pause/sleep a loop? An example would be nice. I can't find one anywhere.

thanks.

Here's an example of Sleep in a loop, not sure if it will work with what your wanting or not.

Here's a link showing the sleep function in loop for an ASP page.

AS far as I can tell, windows scripting does not run on a server. Its a desktop and command prompt technology. I guess I'm going to have to find some other way of stopping/pausing a server side script.
