adding new keyword: EndWhile

First of all, i hope this would be the right place to post this.

Second, i'm sure all of you will laugh, but i place blame on my Anal-Retentiveness:

would it be possible to change the keyword to end a While block: EndWhile ?

this would keep it consistent with Func...EndFunc, If...EndIf, Select...EndSelect, Switch...EndSwitch and With...EndWith.

(Do...Until and For...Next are obviously different). I know it sounds ludicrous, and insane, and i also know this would cause complete and utter chaos to all existing programs, I know!, but what if one could optionally use Wend OR EndWhile ? 

I don't know if this has ever been addressed before (i have tried to look-found nothing) but one last time, i place blame on my Anal-Retentiveness.

p.s. - LOVE AutoIt !!!

It's consistent with VBScript's While loop, and most other BASIC based languages.

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.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

Loopy, even. :P

P.S. Take some comfort in the fact, that WEND may indeed be seen as an abbreviation of While End (especially for you). In actual fact though, the End is in the Beginning ... or you use an interruptus. :blink:

So look at it another way ... Wend is 180 not 360, so really only the middle point, not an end in itself.
It may even mean, While not End then Continue. ;)
