Hey all. Long time reader first time poster!

I'm working on a DB program and need to open a website. When it opens the website, quite often it then proceeds to spam the website and bring down both the running DB program and the browser (A few times my Firefox/IE was using 4+GB before I finally got it shut down.) Any suggestions? I even tried throwing in a brief wait since I wondered if the program thought the that key was still held in.

Thanks

Dave

Have you tried simply using a function call? [include the wait or a type of wait inside the function as well...] but I think you simply have that subroutine repeatedly called in your main loop for that to be happening, are you not using a trigger like an IF-ENDIF function?

EDIT

Just had to include this...

using ianm's matrix1utils plug-in #13, you can check to see if a window with "soundcloud" (or whatever you want) in the title is already open and execute file if it isn't:



bah! the code was working...
add: it does work sometimes. more to do with it but it will get you on the right path (i don't have time to continue working on it right now...)

Edit: Should have mentioned Website: is outside of my main loop. It gets called when you Hit the W key.

And thanks for the Marauder photo Mr. Val.

You need to force an input delay or the key press event will trigger many times in the space of one physical 'press'

Something like
