Combining scripts

I'm starting to write smaller scripts and then call them from another script. The hurdle I'm running into is the scripts often have issues when ran in sequence despite the fact they run cleanly individually. My assumption is that my script is still holding down Alt or Shift or something goofy and as...

Re: Creating a "cleanup script"

ok... so GetWindowList can generate a list of open windows....

I guess I'll attempt to loop through the list and clean up from there (unless any better suggestions come though in the meantime)

Creating a "cleanup script"

My scripts open browser windows, download files, open them in excel, saves them as ____-, and when everything works correctly, it closes all the windows as it goes.

Re: Fighting the endless loop

My issues is time based but correct me if I'm wrong but if the script is stuck in an endless loop, then wouldn't the following code not get an opportunity to run?

Timer>endTime

If>elapsed_seconds>600
exit / call another macro
Endif

Fighting the endless loop

Is there any method to stop a script (automatically) if it runs for too long (a pre-determined amount of time)? Or to start a 2nd script if the first script runs for too long? As my scripts get more complicated, I randomly have one end up in an endless loop. Our fix to the endless loop is always the...

Previously i was opening a web page by launching the browser, clicking the url line, and ...
