xuzo Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Hi there, I looked in help and syntax for Break but that's for users... These questions are so basic I don't even know how to ask! I know how to add "skips" using ; But how to pause the task? And when I press F5 it starts from the beginning, but I would like to be able to run only sections. Something like this: MsgBox(0, "title", "I want to pause this before the next textbox shows up") ;How do I add some kind of "stop" or "break" before the next step? MsgBox(0, "title", "I don't want this text box to show up because I want to use a break before.") ;How do I start the task from step 5 and not step 1? MsgBox(0, "title", "I want to start the task from here and not the beginning") Thanks
BrewManNH Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Look at If...Then or Switch/Select statements to determine which parts of your code to run, put your operations into functions and call them depending upon what you want to do. Pausing a script is possible, do a search of the forum for about a dozen different threads asking the same thing. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

xuzo Posted July 4, 2012 Author Posted July 4, 2012 Hi Brewman, I have looked and looked and looked but haven't found what I'm looking for. I probably don't know how to ask...but I'm doing my best. ; is for commenting info that won't run [b]#comments-start[/b] ... ... [b]#comments-end[/b] is for omiting script to be ran F5 runs the script Ctrl alt F5 runs from top I'm doing my homework as much as I can! So I have the syntax to ommit, comment and run from start. I'm looking for syntax to pause and start from the line number, I am also looking for a way to execute a single line of code from the script.
