reecedorward Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I read this in the FAQ about the old 'goto' function...Just to get you started, the most basic use of Goto in version 2.64 was an infinite loop like::mylabel...do something......and something else...goto, mylabelA simple v3 version of that is a While loop that is always "true".While 1 = 1 ...do something... ...do something else...WendThat above makes sense... but I do believe with the goto function you would be able to tell the script to 'goto another section' of the script, where as the while 1 = 1 loop will only loop whats within 'While' and 'Wend'...with the old 'goto' function (i never used it) but im guessing you'd be able to acheive something similar to this::mylabel...do something......and something else...goto, :helpme:helpme...do something......and something else...goto, :please:please...do something......and do something else...goto, :helpmeInstead of looping from ":mylabel" to ":mylabel" like the example in the FAQ section... the script above actually tells the script to go from one loop to another loop... I want to know how to do this with the "While" functionI have read all through the Functions help file for anything relative towards what im in search of, but i cant find anything... I'm hoping that an expert on here can explain to me how to do the following without directing me back to the help file on the account of I'm totally new at this and have no idea...Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realm Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 reecedorward, Why not create a custom function like: Func _MyGoToFunction() ;Do my Goto needs here EndFunc Then whenever you need to call that portion of your script all you have to do is call it like so: If $Do_I_need_ToGo Then _MyGoToFunction() It's actually better than a GoTo call as old school programming used, since it runs the portion of needed script, then returns back to where it left off before.

somdcomputerguy Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 It's explained nicely in the Help file - Language Reference - User Functions - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

jchd Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 reecedorward, Remove the useless labels and gotos in your last example and you're left with a simple sequence of instructions, since there is no loop in your pseudo-code. OTOH, what guys are suggesting is bad. A much better idea is to restructure the code to blocks and true functions.
