    VBScript code produces an Expected Statement error???

    Hi, this is the VBScript code for the program described in this thread: http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=433810

    Code:
    rem This application allows a user to run only one program (in this case "game.exe")
    rem In case other programs are running, it terminates them
    rem The same action will be taken with newly-executed programs
    
    rem Set mandatory variables and objects
    strComputer = "."
    sec = 0
    Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
    Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery (" Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = 'game.exe' " )
    
    rem Count how many processes where found (should be one as we compared only against 'game.exe')
    rem This is done to check whether the game is started
    colProcessListCounter = 0
    For Each objProcess in colProcessList
        colProcessListCounter = colProcessListCounter + 1
    Next
    
    rem Game is started? Good, let's go:    
    If colProcessListCounter = 1 Then
        While colProcessListCounter = 1
        
            rem The next three lines form an interval mechanism which
            rem makes the process scanning below happen every 2 seconds
            sec = Second(Time)
            sec = sec / 2
            If InStr(sec, ".") = 0 Then
                rem Here we scan for rebellious applicationds which are not Game.exe and must be terminated:
                Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery (" Select * from Win32_Process Where Name <> 'game.exe' " )    
                For Each objProcess in colProcessList
                    rem Kill!
                    objProcess.Terminate()
                Next
    
                rem Now we check again whether Game.exe is still on - otherwise, we can end the script.
                Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery (" Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = 'game.exe' " )
                colProcessListCounter = 0
                For Each objProcess in colProcessList
                    colProcessListCounter = colProcessListCounter + 1
                Next
            end if
        Wend
    end if
    End
    However, the code produces an 'Expected Statement' error, and is not working. I'd really like to find out why

    Thanks you for your kind help!

    Re: VBScript code produces an Expected Statement error???

    take out the end statement on the last line

    how do you know it is not working?
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    Okay, now it's working, but I have a problem - My time mechanism isn't good, as it's consuming a lot of CPU because the loop goes on and on.

    Maybe you have a suggestion fr a beter interval code?

    you should always make a way to exit from the loop and stop the script
