A counter that counts in terms of seconds

[nihad]

Hi all,

Iam looking to write a batch file which can count in terms of seconds. Lets say start from 1 and go on till a conditiion when i want to stop it.

Can any help me with this???

Below is an example of how to delay a batch file any where from 5 to 99 seconds. In the below example we illustrate a 5 second delay.

TYPE NUL | CHOICE.COM /N /CY /TY,5 >NUL

Additionally, you could use the sleep ulity:

Example code:

Code: [Select]

@echo off
echo Hello
echo.
sleep.exe 10
cls
pause
"10" is ten seconds

BC, not every computer has choice.

@echo off
:loop
if exist file.txt goto cont
ping localhost -n 5 -w 1000>nul
goto loop
:cont
Echo File exists!
Pause >nul
