I'm blind: Trouble using "continueloop 2"

[rudi]

Hi.

I wrote a script years ago (older Autoit Version, iirc 3.6), and had to modify some variable values. Now a continueloop fails, and I can't see, why. Here are the relevant lines.:

#region alle Descriptions, die auftauchen, ablegen
    Dim $aDesc[1] = [0]
    For $i = 1 To UBound($aLogs) - 1
        $Desc = StringStripWS(StringRegExpReplace($aLogs[$i], "(?i)((description:.*)|.*)", "$2"), 1 + 2)
        For $k = 1 To $aDesc[0]
            If $Desc = $aDesc[$k] Then ContinueLoop 2 ; <--- line 75, to continue the loop "for $i = 1 ..."
        Next
        _ArrayAdd($aDesc, $Desc)
        $aDesc[0] = UBound($aDesc) - 1
    Next
    _ArraySort($aDesc, 0, 1)
    #endregion alle Descriptions, die auftauchen, ablegen

In case, the description is in the result array ALREADY, it shall continue with the next "$i" value.

The resulting error:

DS4700-Disk-Err-Watcher.au3 (75) : ==> "ContinueLoop" statement with no matching "While", "Do" or "For" statement.:
If $Desc = $aDesc[$k] Then ContinueLoop 2

I can't see, what's my mistake

Who's going to open my blind eyes, pls?

Regards, Rudi.

Hi, rudi. IIRC, you cannot have ContinueLoop by itself in the For loop, you have to have another line. Take a look at this example. If you remove the Msgbox line, you'll get the same error:

For $i = 1 To 10
 If $i = 7 Then ContinueLoop
 MsgBox(0, "", $i)
Next

Hi Logan ,

good catch

To be more precisely: There has to be at least one statement AFTER the continueloop line.

This will work:

For $i = 1 To 10
If $i = 7 Then ContinueLoop
$foo=42
Next

... but this won't work:

For $i = 1 To 10
$foo=42
If $i = 7 Then ContinueLoop
Next

C:\temp\test.au3 (3) : ==> "ContinueLoop" statement with no matching "While", "Do" or "For" statement.:
If $i = 7 Then ContinueLoop

As the script did work before, I suspect, that this limitation was introduced e.g. with one of the last releases?

Where is the appropriate "place" to suggest an updateing of the documentation?

Or should I open a bug report?

Regards, Rudi.

Under the Dev Chat forum, there is a thread for reporting Help file issues.

Hi Logan.

Done.

This is a bug not a help file issue. If you search bug tracker you will see it has been fixed in the latest beta version. #2073

Hi Guinnes,

thanks for your input.

I thought there might be a technical background, that requires this behaviour. Then it *WOULD* have been a help file thing
