Loop w/counter help.


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to have some code loop w/a counter and to keep running after it does the function once the count has met but start back over. What I have currenty is.

While $counter < 3

   some
   code
   here

$counter = $counter +1

WEnd

FunctionAfterCountMet()

When I run it, it kind of works only that it doesn't start back over at the top after the count is met and it does the function, it just stops after that.

You want an infinite loop that calls a function when a value is met and then starts over again? Something like this? Make sure that you add some code to end the script!

$counter = 0
$limit = 3
While 1
    some
    code
    here
    If $counter = $limit Then
        FunctionAfterCountMet()
        $counter = 0
    Else
        $counter += 1
    EndIf
WEnd

I see you don't have the counter incrementing by 1 each time, so what is keeping track of that? Wont the counter always be 0?

I guess it is part of "some code here".

I would have used a For-loop. It does the counting for you.

While 1
    For $iX = 1 To 3
        some
        code
        here
    Next
    FunctionAfterCountMet()
WEnd

Oops, missed that. I updated my code above.
