Recursion level has been exceeded?

[cheeseandcereal]

So I am writing a script and I am at a point where I have a variable, I want to add 1 to that variable, then do a quick process with that variable, then repeat, but when I write something as simple as this:

Folder()

Func Folder()
$Count += 1
;Insert quick function using $Count here
If $Count < 15000 Then
Folder()
Else
NextFunc()
EndIf
EndFunc

Func NextFunc()
;Insert anything you want here
EndFunc

AutoIT will stop because "Recursion level has been exceeded - AutoIt will quit to prevent stack overflow." after about 3,898 recurrences consistently. The problem is I want to run this for 10,000-100,000 times. Is there anyway to circumvent this limitation?

Recursion is not a cool technique. Why not try looping?

$Count = 0

Func _MyFunc()
While $Count < 15000
$Count = $Count + 1
;Do something with $Count here
WEnd
EndFunc

Func _NextFunc()
;Anything you wanna do!!!
EndFunc

cheeseandcrereal,

This follows the logic of your post, although it makes no sense outside of the context of the rest of your script.

for $Count = 1 to 15000
    Folder()
Next

NextFunc()

Func Folder()
    ; do something
EndFunc   ;==>Folder

Func NextFunc()
    ;Insert anything you want here
EndFunc   ;==>NextFunc

Are you trying to run folders and files?

Haha now I feel stupid! I knew there was some sort of loop that could do this for me I just couldn't remember what it was for some reason. Brain fart

Thanks
