you can use an <@for> like a while loop like so:
<@for start=0 stop=1 step=0>
<@if expr="(while expression goes here)">
<@break>
</@if>
</@for>

Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: Sleep & While + explanations
I need sleep() (on the server side) to wait for availability on a locked
resource ( without loading the CPU ).
If I use an external procedure (dos wait) I am not sure what is the delay
needed to load the DOS interpreter; and I would prefer not to bind the the
solution to an OS. Java can solve all this (provided it is already loaded)
but I was curious to see if somebody found a simpler way.
I was aware of while action and that would work just fine; however that
means I end up fragmenting a results page action; I'd rather use <@FOR> if I
can make it act as a while (which can be done in all programming languages
that I know), but I found no way to do that with witango.
I wonder, since there are <@TIMER> and <@FOR> metatags, why not <@SLEEP> and
<@WHILE> as well? They are obviously closely related and I assume they
cannot be that difficult to implement...
Thank you for all your suggestions.
Mike Bravu.

Subject: Witango-Talk: Sleep & While
Hello all,
Can anybody help me out with the Witango equivalents for:
1- sleep( milliseconds ); and
2- while( true ) { }
The solutions that I found are not acceptable:
1- except for using externals, if I try to use <@TIMER> it seems I burn the
CPU, which is not what I want;
2- <@FOR> </@FOR> does not really work or I do not know how to setup
Start/Step/Stop
If the solution is already explained in the documentation I apologize, I
just could not find it.
Thank you,
Mike Bravu
