gcue Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) hello. i am trying to find out if a pc has a shortcut to nlnotes.exe or notes.exe in their windows profile startup folder the $lnk_file = FileFindNextFile($shortcut_search) produces some blank results at the tail end of its search so when it tries to FileGetShortcut on that file, it gets stuck i tried if $lnk_file = "" Then ContinueLoop 2 EndIf and If @error Then ContinueLoop 2 but i dont get accurate results - should be loop2 right? bc loop1 is the For Loop any ideas? For $x = 1 To UBound($profiles) - 1 $shortcut_search = FileFindFirstFile("\\" & $asset & "\c$\documents and settings\" & $profiles[$x] & "\start menu\programs\startup\*.lnk") If $shortcut_search = -1 Then ContinueLoop EndIf While 1 $lnk_file = FileFindNextFile($shortcut_search) ;MsgBox(0, "", $file) ;~ If @error Then ExitLoop 2 If $lnk_file = "" Then ContinueLoop 2 EndIf $shortcut_path = FileGetShortcut("\\" & $asset & "\c$\documents and settings\" & $profiles[$x] & "\start menu\programs\startup\" & $lnk_file) If $shortcut_path = "c:\lotus\notes\notes.exe" Then MsgBox(0, "standard", "profile startup") $user = $profiles[$x] $startup_location = "..\<Profile>\..\Startup" $exe = "notes.exe" EndIf If $shortcut_path = "c:\lotus\notes\nlnotes.exe" Then MsgBox(0, "basic", "profile startup") $user = $profiles[$x] $startup_location = "..\<Profile>\..\Startup" $exe = "nlnotes.exe" EndIf WEnd Next Edited December 9, 2009 by gcue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whim Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Why not just use If $link_file = "" Then Exitloop instead of If $link_file = "" Then ContinueLoop 2 EndIf whim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsaltyDS Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 ...should be loop2 right? bc loop1 is the For Loop No. Loop 1 is the most immediate (innermost) loop. Loop 2 is the parent (outer loop) that contains loop 1. For $A = 1 To 5 ConsoleWrite("Outer loop: " & $A & @LF) For $B = 1 To 5 ConsoleWrite(@TAB & "Inner loop: " & $B & @LF) If $B = 4 Then ExitLoop 1 Next Next Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...
