Ok, roger that. Thanks again!

Sure thing. See what I mean below.

Eval, Assign and IsDeclared should be used sparingly in my humble opinion.

Agreed, just seemed fitting, but putting them in to an array would be a better solution.

;Start with $condition = True until proven false
Local $condition = True
;We will use $bBlank to track if there has been a blank value (since any non blank following a blank makes $condition = False)
Local $bBlank = False
;Declase our $akey array var
Local $akey[6] = [$key1, $key2, $key3, $key4, $key5, $key6]
;Loop through the 6 keys (0 based array, so 0 to 5)
For $i = 0 To 5
    ConsoleWrite($akey[$i] & @CRLF)
    ;If the key is blank then...
    If $akey[$i] = "" Then
        ;Record that we found a blank (we can check against this later)
        $bBlank = True
        ;If we found a blank and it is the first key, we set condition to false and exit the loop (no more checks)
        If $i = 0 Then
            ;Set condition to false
            $condition = False
            ;Exit the loop (no more checks)
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    ;If the key is NOT blank then...
    Else
        ;Check to see if we have seen a blank before (if so, we have a "jump" as you put it, and will set condition to false and exitloop).  Also checking if the file doesn't exist for this key (and if it doesn't set to false and exitloop)
        If $bBlank = True Or Not FileExists($akey[$i]) Then
            ;Set condition to false
            $condition = False
            ;Exit the loop (no more checks)
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    EndIf
Next
MsgBox(0, 'test', $condition)

Thanks danwilli for being patient with me.

I dont understand: why we should use array, isn't eval is enough?

Also, why use assign?

Why use

Assign("sString", "Hello")

 

instead of

$sString = "Hello"

Basically, the first is turning some text into a variable name, whereas the second is assigning some text to a variable. Two very different things. Very much (for simplicity's sake) like one being a container, the other the content.
