AutoitMike Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 This not a programming issue. I know how to exit any loop. However, I sometimes goof up and I get into an infinite loop while developing an app and running it (.AU3 file) My win 7 keyboard has a "Pause" Break key where "Pause" is over the word "Break" Holding Ctrl and the "Pause" - "Break" key does not stop the program. Task manager does not show any process with the name of the app running. Is there any other clean way to "Break" a bad program? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudw2k Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Ctrl+Break works for me when running the script in SciTE. Otherwise, look for any AutoIt3.exe or AutoIt3_x64.exe processes and kill them.

spudw2k Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 As @argumentum eluded to, there is no Do While syntac in AutoIt. It is either While => Wend, or Do => Until. https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/intro/lang_loops.htm Spoiler Things I've Made: Always On Top Tool ◊ AU History ◊ Deck of Cards ◊ HideIt ◊ ICU ◊ Icon Freezer ◊ Ipod Ejector ◊ Junos Configuration Explorer ◊ Link Downloader ◊ MD5 Folder Enumerator ◊ PassGen ◊ Ping Tool ◊ Quick NIC ◊ Read OCR ◊ RemoteIT ◊ SchTasksGui ◊ SpyCam ◊ System Scan Report Tool ◊ System UpTime ◊ Transparency Machine ◊ VMWare ESX BuilderMisc Code Snippets: ADODB Example ◊ CheckHover ◊ Detect SafeMode ◊ DynEnumArray ◊ GetNetStatData ◊ HashArray ◊ IsBetweenDates ◊ Local Admins ◊ Make Choice ◊ Recursive File List ◊ Remove Sizebox Style ◊ Retrieve PNPDeviceID ◊ Retreive SysListView32 Contents ◊ Set IE Homepage ◊ Tickle Expired Password ◊ Transpose ArrayProjects: Drive Space Usage GUI ◊ LEDkIT ◊ Plasma_kIt ◊ Scan Engine Builder ◊ SpeeDBurner ◊ SubnetCalcCool Stuff: AutoItObject UDF ◊ Extract Icon From Proc ◊ GuiCtrlFontRotate ◊ Hex Edit Funcs ◊ Run binary ◊ Service_UDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any other clean way to "Break" a bad program? If you want to terminate an .au3 script running in the SciTE editor (e.g. because it is frozen), then there is also the following option. In the taskbar there should be an AutoIt icon which, when you move the mouse pointer over it, shows the script name. A right click on the icon opens a dialog with an EXIT option.
