Loop a function?

Question

Is it possible to loop a function until an item = TRUE?

I am trying to ping a server... Once connection is established, or Ping = TRUE, then a program will execute.

Answer 1

That would be a recursive function.

here is an example from MS

Answer 2

Try like this :

Option Explicit
Dim MyLoop,strComputer,objPing,objStatus
MyLoop = True
While MyLoop = True
    strComputer = "smtp.gmail.com"
    Set objPing = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\").ExecQuery _
    ("select * from Win32_PingStatus where address = '" & strComputer & "'")
    For Each objStatus in objPing
        If objStatus.Statuscode = 0 Then
            MyLoop = False
            Call MyProgram()
            wscript.quit
        End If
    Next
    Pause(10) 'To sleep for 10 secondes
Wend
'**********************************************************************************************
 Sub Pause(NSeconds)
    Wscript.Sleep(NSeconds*1000)
 End Sub
'**********************************************************************************************
Sub MyProgram()
Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
objShell.Run("calc.exe")
Set objShell = Nothing
End Sub
