Script loop set times.

[Guest]

Hey

I have posted before about looping scripts and exit loops but now it is something different.

Take into consideration I am a beginner so do not get angry if you think my ways are 'stupid'

OK I have a script where the user inputs some numbers

before (stupidly) I have tried

(FAILED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

$input = inputbox("input", "how many times to repeat?", "")
$set = "1"
while 1
$set = $set +1
if $set = $input then exitloop
else
  ;do stuff
endif
wend

this is an example

$number = inputbox("Beep", "how many times should it repeat?", "")
;repeat $number of times
       beep(500, 500)
wend

please if you could help.

Try this:

$number = inputbox("Beep", "how many times should it repeat?", "")
While $number ;repeat $number of times
    beep(500, 500)
    $number -= 1
wend

OR

$number = inputbox("Beep", "how many times should it repeat?", "")
For $I = 1 to  $number ;repeat $number of times
    beep(500, 500)
Next

I have seen that used before but did not think it was that simple,

thought it would include

while $input to ;something

but great thanks
