Show Timer, Continue After 10 seconds Topic is solved

[RoseCode]

How can I pause the script while my countdown timer displays? Sounds easy. I thought so too! This Script pulls out even or odd lines from the clipboard. I want the user to know his clipboard has been restored after about 10 seconds. This gives him time to paste the odd lines, before the original clipboard is restored. I have a timer that displays a countdown, but nothing I've tried can stop the script during those 10 seconds and continue, without breaking the timer display in some way.

Ideas? Thank you!

By the way, if using SciTE hit your right alt key to save and refresh this script for quick testing!

Try a "settimer" and move the restore clipboard to the timer label ?

The day pure gold ceases to flow from your code NoName, will be the end of the world, which should be ruled by the spirits captured in your new avatar in whose eyes is tolerance and later, VICTORY over every shadow!

Your code solution is artful and unexpected: I would never have worked that out like that, especially the Timed, -10 immediately preceding the Timed, 1000. There's more than meets the eye here

It's BEAUTIFUL! Thank you, again, NoName.

I can't get past the power of your avatar! I tried TinEye to look it up but no luck. Did you paint this? I would love to see the full print Noname.

ひみつ !! I send the link to your inbox .

If you want to create a circular avatar you can use this:

I had the image ( grayscaled ) as wallpaper when i wrote the code so it was my first test ( with a mesmerizing result.....) .

Thanks for another example of your colourfull unique writing style !

Noname is, of course, my favorite persona on the internet and many are saying, the world's best coder. Thank you Noname.
