pause with time and keyboard

I have put the pause function in my code. After pause I would like to restart the script after some time (i.e. 10 seconds) or by press on the keyboard. Do you know how can I do?

Hi Marco,

could you give some more details? I'm not sure what you want to achieve ...

I have a code. At a certain row I want that run stops and will resume only after 10 seconds or if I press some letter on the keyboard. I was locking a solution with pause() function but other answers can be valid.

Maybe you can start a parfor loop with two parallel tasks, and run a while loop in each of them - the first while loop checks for the time and writes a flag into a text file when 10s are over and the second while loop checks for input before it writes a flag into the same text file. Both while loops halt when the flag is set in the text file ...

Yes this is very ugly and I don't know if it works.

Thank you It is quite tricky to write the code but is a smart way to use parfor. I'll try to follow your answer but I'm not sure it works.
