Is there anything like a batch file "goto"
I have a input box that says Enter "(Q)uick" or "(F)ull" and I want to test for whether Q
or F was input and if not, then re-ask the question. If it is Q or F then continue the
execution. OR maybe a sample of how to it or point me in the right directio in help.
Thanks much

AutoIt uses functions, have a look at the help file and do the examples

Here's one way of doing it:

While 1
    $Test = InputBox("Test", "Enter (Q) or (F)")
    If $Test = "Q" Or $Test = "F" Or @error = 1 Then ExitLoop
WEnd
MsgBox(0, "", "You entered: " & $Test)

There are, of course, many ways of going about it, this is the one that I came up with off the top of my head.

cyberal,

No, you need to use structured coding like this:

While 1
    $sInput = StringUpper(InputBox("Question", "Enter 'F'(ull) or 'Q'(uick)"))
    Switch $sInput
        Case "F", "Q"
            ExitLoop
        Case Else
            MsgBox(0, "Oi!", "I said 'F' or 'Q' - why did you enter " & $sInput & "?")
    EndSwitch
WEnd
MsgBox(0, "Congrats", "You entered " & $sInput)

All clear?

Brewmannh and Melba23,
Thanks so much. I am pretty new at this but I can see this will work perfectly!

Keep working at it . I came from a windows scripting background, and have been working in AutoIT for about 3 weeks. I believe there isn't much that AutoIT can't do. You can build a menial script, or an enterprise app with it.
