add a delay in asp script

[bezaman]

I'm trying to check if a file exits. I want to do this every 10 seconds. I have a dll that will check if the file exists, all I need to know is how to wait 10 seconds and then check again. Is there a way to do this?

Maybe use the sleep API in your DLL?

I use a dll just to check if the file exists, it is just like the File System Object (fso.folderexists). I want to check if the file exists every 10 seconds until the file actually exists but I want to do this in VBScript. Maybe there isn't a way, I don't know.

I guess u wanting to do it through an asp page , just keep calling the asp page which checks for the file by adding theh meta tag..http-refresh

How would I do that?

[veryjonny]

<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="10;urlto the page">

When I do a refresh does it restart my asp code? Because I have dll that I call and I don't want it to keep on restarting.

Yes, it requests the page from the server again.
