Everyone who ever tried to automate routine tasks in windows knows that there is no sleep() program or its analogue. At least in default windows installation.
But there is quite an unexpected workaround:
ping -n 2 127.0.0.1 > nul
will stop batch execution for 2 seconds. (Replace 2 with your number for longer pause.)
Very simple and neat. Or is it?
Dude, that is so simple, very neat, and exactly what i’m looking for. good on ya, cheers!!
THANKS! Great workaround…
timeout 10
will give you a 10 second count down timer, press any key to move on imediatly
timeout is not available on Windows prior to Vista
