I have been to the help files, posted previously on here and been directed to the help files, but that doesnt help on the account that im new at this and I physically need someone to solve this code for me to understand how it should be written or what function goes where etc.... I have even tried to google possible solutions, which is quite hard becase im not too sure if what im googling for will get me the answer!

While 1
Local $test1 = InputBox("Test1", "Test1", "Type a Number")
If @error Then
  $exit = MsgBox(4, "Exit?", "Are you sure?")
  If $exit = 6 Then Exit
EndIf
If $test1 = True Then
  ExitLoop
EndIf
WEnd
While 1
Local $test2 = InputBox("Test2", "Test2", "Type a Number Again")
If @error Then
  $exit = MsgBox(4, "Exit?", "Are you sure?")
  If $exit = 6 Then Exit
EndIf
If $test2 = True Then
  ExitLoop
EndIf
WEnd
Local $goto = MsgBox(4,"Time to go back", "Press Yes to goto $test1 Inputbox or press No to goto $test2 Inputbox")
  If $goto = 6 Then ;### Goto $test1 InputBox
  If $goto = 7 Then ;### Goto $test2 InputBox
  EndIf
  EndIf

Curse this script, ive been trying to figure it out all morning!!! >;)

Hello reecedorward,

Your script works fine on my end, Maybe I don't understand what it is that you intend on it doing for you. If you could explain a little more about what your trying to achieve, what it is not doing that you expect it to do. Then maybe we could give you a suggestion or two in the right direction.

instead of using while 1 loops, make them functions.

_Test1()
Func _test1()
Local $test1 = InputBox("Test1", "Test1", "Type a Number")
If @error Then
  $exit = MsgBox(4, "Exit?", "Are you sure?")
  If $exit = 6 Then Exit
EndIf
If $test1 = True Then
  ;
EndIf
EndFunc
_Test2()
Func _Test2()
Local $test2 = InputBox("Test2", "Test2", "Type a Number Again")
If @error Then
  $exit = MsgBox(4, "Exit?", "Are you sure?")
  If $exit = 6 Then Exit
EndIf
If $test2 = True Then
  ;
EndIf
EndFunc
Local $goto = MsgBox(4,"Time to go back", "Press Yes to goto $test1 Inputbox or press No to goto $test2 Inputbox")
  If $goto = 6 Then _Test1();### Goto $test1 InputBox
  If $goto = 7 Then _Test2();### Goto $test2 InputBox

*edit* forgot to remove the loops lol

Testing a string against the keyword True will probably not give the result you expect.

Basically when the script gets to the msgbox at the end.. I want to be able to direct the script back to the first inputbox by pressing Yes on the msgbox or to direct the script back to the second inputbox by pressing No...

So to try and map it out it goes like this:

FIRST INPUTBOX (type a number and click OK to goto the second inputbox)

Type a number, clicks OK

SECOND INPUTBOX (type a number and click OK to goto the msgbox)

Type a number, clicks OK

MSGBOX (click Yes to go back to the first inputbox or click no to go back to the second inputbox)

User presses YES

FIRST INPUTBOX (Here we are again back at the top of the script)

But if the user presses no when the script is at the MSGBOX it would go to the second inputbox

Does this help explain it any better?

instead of using while 1 loops, make them functions.

_Test1()
Func _test1()
Local $test1 = InputBox("Test1", "Test1", "Type a Number")
If @error Then
  $exit = MsgBox(4, "Exit?", "Are you sure?")
  If $exit = 6 Then Exit
EndIf
If $test1 = True Then
  ;
EndIf
EndFunc
_Test2()
Func _Test2()
Local $test2 = InputBox("Test2", "Test2", "Type a Number Again")
If @error Then
  $exit = MsgBox(4, "Exit?", "Are you sure?")
  If $exit = 6 Then Exit
EndIf
If $test2 = True Then
  ;
EndIf
EndFunc
Local $goto = MsgBox(4,"Time to go back", "Press Yes to goto $test1 Inputbox or press No to goto $test2 Inputbox")
  If $goto = 6 Then _Test1();### Goto $test1 InputBox
  If $goto = 7 Then _Test2();### Goto $test2 InputBox

*edit* forgot to remove the loops lol

This ACTUALLY WORKS! Though now I have encountered another problem... when i click "YES" when the msgbox is up at the end... it DOES take me back to the first inputbox... but when I goto type a number in and click ok... the script ends??? it doesnt continue to the second input box :S

Man, so close to getting it!

Hello reecedorward,

Is this what you are trying to acomplish?

Local $goto

_Test1()
_Test2()

While 1
   $goto = MsgBox(4,"Time to go back", "Press Yes to goto $test1 Inputbox or press No to goto $test2 Inputbox")
   MsgBox(0, '', $goto)
   If $goto = 6 Then
      _Test1();### Goto $test1 InputBox
   ElseIf $goto = 7 Then
      _Test2();### Goto $test2 InputBox
   Else
      ;do something else, or maybe exit application
   EndIf
WEnd

Exit

Func _test1()
   Local $test1 = InputBox("Test1", "Test1", "Type a Number")
   If @error Then
      $exit = MsgBox(4, "Exit?", "Are you sure?")
      If $exit = 6 Then Exit
   EndIf
   If $test1 = True Then
      ;
   EndIf
EndFunc

Func _Test2()
    Local $test2 = InputBox("Test2", "Test2", "Type a Number Again")
    If @error Then
      $exit = MsgBox(4, "Exit?", "Are you sure?")
      If $exit = 6 Then Exit
   EndIf
   If $test2 = True Then
      ;
   EndIf

This is the CLOSEST SOLUTION I have had yet! Thanks for that... Though I have edited your script around a little and I came up with this:

_Test1()
_Test2()
Local $goto

Func _test1()
Local $test1 = InputBox("Test1", "Test1", "Type a Number")
If @error Then
  $exit = MsgBox(4, "Exit?", "Are you sure?")
  If $exit = 6 Then Exit
EndIf
If $test1 = True Then _Test2()
;
EndFunc   ;==>_test1
Func _Test2()
Local $test2 = InputBox("Test2", "Test2", "Type a Number Again")
If @error Then
  $exit = MsgBox(4, "Exit?", "Are you sure?")
  If $exit = 6 Then Exit
EndIf
  ;
EndFunc   ;==>_Test2
While 1
$goto = MsgBox(4, "Time to go back", "Press Yes to goto $test1 Inputbox or press No to goto $test2 Inputbox")
If $goto = 6 Then
  _Test1();### Goto $test1 InputBox
ElseIf $goto = 7 Then
  _Test2();### Goto $test2 InputBox
Else
  ;do something else, or maybe exit application
EndIf
WEnd
Exit

Run this script and you will see that all but 1 error remains.. and that is after you type a number in the first inputbox, it goes to the second inputbox.. which is all good untill you goto type a number into the second inputbox, it for some reason (instead of going to the final msgbox) brings up the second inputbox for a second time.. AND THEN.. it goes to the msgbox... after that the loop then becomes exactly how I wanted it and nothing goes wrong..

I just cant figure out why the script makes the second inputbox come up twice the first time round....

If anyone knows why or how to prevent this, please feel free to let me know,

Thanks for everyones help!

It looks like this is what you want to achieve. Note that by adding a condition variable you can drive the logic flow and make the program clearer instead of "going" here and there and invoking test1 or test2 from several places, which is much harder to follow. The best proof of what I'm trying to say is that yourself can't see why test2 is run twice.

Hint: it's just because of what I tried to make you see in my previous post (which you ignored).

Local $whatnext, $firstRun = True
While 1
If $firstRun Then
  $whatnext = 6
Else
  $whatnext = MsgBox(4, "Time to go back", "Press Yes to bring $test1 Inputbox or press No to bring $test2 Inputbox")
EndIf
If $whatnext = 6 Then
  _Test1() ;### $test1 InputBox
  If $firstRun Then
   $whatnext = 7
   $firstRun = False
  EndIf
EndIf
If $whatnext = 7 Then
  _Test2() ;### $test2 InputBox
Else
  ;do something else, or maybe exit application
EndIf
WEnd

Func _test1()
Local $test1 = InputBox("Test1", "Test1", "Type a Number")
If @error Then
  $exit = MsgBox(4, "Exit?", "Are you sure?")
  If $exit = 6 Then Exit
EndIf
;
EndFunc   ;==>_test1

Func _Test2()
Local $test2 = InputBox("Test2", "Test2", "Type a Number Again")
If @error Then
  $exit = MsgBox(4, "Exit?", "Are you sure?")
  If $exit = 6 Then Exit
EndIf
;
EndFunc   ;==>_Test2

Make yourself a favor and ban the words GOTO and BRANCH from your coding vocabulary. Use building blocks and the word PERFORM instead:

While <condition>

perform_that()

end While

If <other condition>

perform_this()

end if

Thankyou jchd, Realm & kaotkbliss!

You have all been very helpful (and patient) :)

It's all a learning process for me, and have learned alot already since first finding out about AutoIt. I had a mate show me his way of doing it, which worked to an extent, though I managed to edit it further and accomplish the EXACT result I was looking for. Here is the final script:

Call("Test1f")
Func test1f()
While 1
Local $test1 = InputBox("Test1", "Test1", "Type a Number")
If @error Then
$exit = MsgBox(4, "Exit?", "Are you sure?")
If $exit = 6 Then Exit
EndIf
If $test1 = True Then
Call("test2f")
EndIf
WEnd
EndFunc ;==>test1f
Call("Test2f")
Func test2f()
While 1
Local $test2 = InputBox("Test2", "Test2", "Type a Number Again")
If @error Then
$exit = MsgBox(4, "Exit?", "Are you sure?")
If $exit = 6 Then Exit
EndIf
If $test2 = True Then
Call("test3f")
EndIf
WEnd
EndFunc ;==>test2f
Call("Test3f")
Func test3f()
While 1
Local $goto = MsgBox(4, "Time to go back", "Press Yes to goto $test1 Inputbox or press No to goto $test2 Inputbox")
If $goto = 6 Then Call("Test1f")
If $goto = 7 Then Call("Test2f")
WEnd
EndFunc
