WaitForString(),
WaitForStrings(), and
ReadString() only operate on data that
has not yet been displayed to the
Screen.
So, if something has already been displayed to the
Screen, it's too late to try and branch on something else that you would then try and
Wait for.
If you expect to branch script code on a number of different strings that
could appear on the
Screen, then you must use
WaitForStrings(string1, string2, string3, ...) and then branch on the value of the
Screen.MatchIndex property (which tells you the left-to-right index -- or top-to-bottom index, depending on how you've structured your code -- of the string that
WaitForStrings() found.
This technique is demonstrated in the
Jump Host - Handle Secondary Host Connection Attempts example script found in the
script examples 'sticky'.
