While 1: what does it mean?


Recommended Posts

scriptstopper,

First, Welcome to the AutoIt Forums ;)

While is looking for a 'True' Statement, and will loop eternally until the statement is no longer True. You can use any statement for While to check, as long as it can give a True or False Return.

While PixelChecksum($x,$y,$w,$h)=0 ;will continue looping until the the pixel region is no longer black
While StringInStr($text,"Running") ;will continue looping until the the $text no longer contains 'Running' in it
While $var1=$var2 ;will continue to loop until one of those variables differ from the other

So Using the statement '1' as in (While 1) is telling the loop it is always True, and to eternally loop. to exit an always true loop you will need to call 'ExitLoop'
