I have two javascript functions and i have a submit button for each function , whats the best implentation to add a few seconds wait between the two functions for example in javascript.

setTimeout(function(){
    //do what you need here
}, 5000);

I have searched for other examples but those did not fit this purpose.

I have two scripts.

The one below writes text inputed to a text file.

function SaveData() {
  var oFSO = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
  var folder = "C:\\Temp";
  var filePath = folder + "\\Test.txt";

  if (!oFSO.FolderExists(folder)) { oFSO.CreateFolder(folder); }

  var oFile = oFSO.CreateTextFile(filePath, true);

  var output =
      "STORE_NAME=" + STORE_NAME.value + "\r\n" +
      "STORE_NUMBER=" + STORE_NUMBER.value    + "\r\n" +
      "EPM_NUMBER=" + EPM_NUMBER.value    + "\r\n" +
      "MCID=" + MCID.value  + "\r\n" +
      "SCREEN_SN=" + SCREEN_SN.value  + "\r\n" +
      "customer_name=" + customer_name.value  + "\r\n" +
      "scanner_type=" + scanner_type.value   + "\r\n";

  oFile.Write(output);
  oFile.Close();

  //alert("Saved to " + filePath);
}

And the other opens a batch file with the data from the text file generated by the above.

I did try adding the setTimeout function to the script above but it ignored it.

I have two buttons below.

I have tried the below and it does work but would prefer to have a few seconds between them.
