reading time

Post by ABNormal »

is there a way to enlarge time in reading files?
i have a site to be read that is very slow and so "Read Timeout" appears 98%times.

thank you
ABN

PS: Showmessage write a popup window that stop the running of script.
is there a showmessage-like instruction that writes without stopping program?

I will see if I can make this timeout configurable, if possible in script properties.
You can maybe increase it by modifying your translation file (not very logical, I know, but it is a side-effect).
In the [GetScriptWin] group, insert a line with:

Code: Select all

http.ReadTimeout=120000
(for 120 seconds for example)
By default it is set to 60000 (60 seconds)

For the ShowMessage, you mean display a progress window, i.e. visible while the script does something? It is not possible currently, but could be added in a future version.

thx
sorry, where have i to change that time setting?

about showmessage i'ld need something like a text like
"found... i'm doing xxxx"
or "changing this info" while that operations are done.

maybe it's a dateil but hsould be useful above all doing problematic tests (we are not perfect programmers and so sometime we (i) go go crazy for something that goes wrong...

Is there a way to know a complete set of instructions for this language?
where can i find a list or similar?
i'ld need example, a variable that writes "today's date" or other things....

In the translation file that you use, e.g. English.lng (if you use the "English - default" language, you have to switch to "English for translations" then)

Most of what is available in this script is similar to basic Delphi and Pascal.
For getting today's date in a string, it seems that the Delphi function is not recognized, so I do not know how you could do.
