kylomas Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) Good Evening, Consider the following code local $slen = 5 for $1 = 1 to $slen ConsoleWrite('Loop # ' & $1 & ' $slen = ' & $slen & @LF) if $1 = 2 then $slen += 2 next The variable ($slen) gets incremented but the loop only runs 5 times, expected 7 times. Because the increment control variable can be modified I expected to be able to modify the loop exit variable. Can someone verify whether or not loop exit control can be modified? kylomas Edited November 30, 2012 by kylomas Forum Rules Procedure for posting code "I like pigs. Dogs look up to us.

Andreik Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) Yes, you can modified but this value it's read just one time, when the loop starts.The For loop terminates when the value of variable exceeds the stop threshold. If stepVal or stop is a variable, its value is only read the first time the loop executes. Edited November 30, 2012 by Andreik When the words fail... music speaks.
