Help with Repeat/Until

The program Iâ€™m automating sends data over the internet and waits for a return,
but the screen doesnâ€™t auto refresh , so I donâ€™t know when to continue the script.
Iâ€™m using â€œWaitScreenImageâ€

If I read this correctly you could just send F5 and then check the screen as F5 would refresh it and then you could compare it.

I'm doing a screen refresh in the program with the Alt R and the Press Enter(see script)
The issue is not knowing how long it will take to get the data back.

Use WSI_TIMEOUT so it checks if it is not found it goes into a loop where you refresh the screen and try again.

So you have something like (untested)

Let>z=1
label>updateloop
Let>WSI_TIMEOUT=5
WaitScreenImage=C:\CP_Macros\JohnW\AES_ShipmentAdded.bmp,10
If>WSI_RESULT=0
If>z=10,tenattemps
Send>F5
Let>z=z+1
Goto>updateloop
Endif
Goto>matched
//ten attemps were made to read the screen with each attempt checking for 5 seconds
Label>tenattemps
MDL>no match
Label>matched

After 10 attemps or whatever it assumes that it is never going to be returned.
