Can I use "WaitForString" with multiple responses?
Can I use "WaitForString" with multiple responses?
(OP)
How can I use "WaitForString" with multiple responses?
This might not even be the correct command to use.
I want to send a command then wait for a response before I proceed. I have no problem writing this code waiting for a single known response, but I may need to wait or have a conditional branch depending on multiple responses. I will have a set of known responses I can test against, but only one response will occur.
For example the response may be "completed" or "not found". One response I would want to continue the macro, the other end or branch to a new macro.
.Transmit my_Command
.WaitForString "completed" ' continue with macro_1
or
.WaitForString "not found" ' end macro or go to macro_2
*************
almost something like ->
.WaitForString {
"completed" then continue
"not found" then macro_2
"error" then End Sub
}
**************
If there is a better command, I am open for suggestions.
Thanks,

hi,
CODE
strings(0) = "completed"
strings(1) = "not found"
do while scrn.waitforstring(strings(i),r,c)
i=i+1
if i > 1 then i = 0
loop

By putting .StatusBar comments, I can tell it gets to the loop with proper command syntax (no errors), but never triggers on the test string.
I would think this would never work unless this has worked for you in the past. My thinking is that since the terminal window is a stream, the correct test variable would have to be selected when the text scrolled through, otherwise the loop would miss the data stream.
Any other thoughts?

Atachmate Reflection's Visual Basic

Not thinking clearly since this is an Atachmate forum.
I am simply writing a macro that will send a command, then branch (or pause) waiting for a reply.
Other than that, I don't know what you mean by "WHAT code are you using".

I cannot help you if you will not post your code!!!
I do not have a crystal ball!!!

CODE
Sub my_park()
With Session
My_Macros.my_screen_worklist ' this macro calls a worklist page
Dim my_Search(1), i
my_Search(0) = "end of worklist"
my_Search(1) = "no tickets"
i = 0
.StatusBar = "before loop"
Do While .WaitForString(my_Search(i))
i = i + 1
If i > 1 Then i = 0
.StatusBar = "in loop"
Loop
.StatusBar = "after loop"
End With
End Sub
