Stop Script Inside For...Next Loop

[AnRios]

Hi there,

 

I'm very new at scripting and I have a problem. I use these extremely simple lines to exhibit and print images from SAP. However I did not manage to find a solution to make it stop before the end, could someone help? Thanks in advance.

OBS: Since I'm using the company pc, I haven't the permission to install anything, I'm running the zip version of AutoIT.

 

For $i = 1 to 600 ; I print several images a day

WinActivate("Relatorio")
Sleep (300)
BlockInput (1) ; Block Use Input
Send("{ENTER}")
Sleep (1000)
Send("{F3}") ; This activates the hotkey from PrintKey 
Sleep (250)
MouseClickDrag ( "left" ,353 ,197 ,672 ,437 ,0 )
Sleep (400)
BlockInput (0) ; Unblock Use Input
WinActivate("Relatorio")
Send("{DOWN}")

Next

Set an HotKey to exit from your script, or set a boolean variable to run conditionally your script.

In any case, you can use HotKeySet() function

Francesco, thanks for the response.

I have no idea where to insert this, before or after or between the For... Next loop. Could you give me an example?

@AnRios

If you see in the example provided by the Help file about HotKeySet(), you'll see that the fuction is set before all the functions (in most cases), so, put it before the For...Next loop in your script

I would also suggest looking into ControlSend(). Much more reliable.

@FrancescoDiMuro I got it, thanks!

@SkysLastChance I read the info but still didn't get how it would work to break the loop.

[SkysLastChance]

It's not meant to break the script. It's meant to send your keys more reliably. Send() only works on the active window. It is better coding practice. 

HotKetSet() with a exit function will break the loop. 

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc
