How to make ASP page pause for some time

[kk.simhadri]

Hi All
I am having an ASP page which will get some set of files from
VSS.After that, in the same page I am running a bat file to remove some
unwanted files.Then I am displaying the files remaining in the page.

Every thing is working fine ,but the bat file is taking some time to
remove the files. so first time when it displays the files , it is
displaying the unwanted files alsnce after fully loading the page
,if I press refresh those unwanted files are not there.


I want the page to wait for some time to get the files deleted and then
display them on the page.

Any idea, how can I do this..????

Any help would be appreciated

How are you running the bat file?
With WScript.Shell's Run method? Set
it bWaitOnReturn to true. See here:
