Simulate Goto

[DaLiMan 0]

Hi there,

Is there a solution for the following script?

start1:
InputBox, string, name, tekst
IfEqual, string, 0, goto, 0
IfEqual, string, 1, goto, 1
IfEqual, string, 2, goto, 2
0:
Do something
Goto, somewhere
1:
Do something
goto, somewhere

Somewhere:
MsBox, 4, name, tekst
IfMsgBox, YES, Goto, start1
IfMsgBox, NO, Goto, end

end:
exit

I can't seem to find out how this works with loops.

Can anybody help me on the way?

Select

Case $string="0"

Case $string="1"

Case $string="2"

EndSelect

Yes, but the way you do it depends on how much code you want to execute for "Do something" - if it is a lot then it would be neater to call a function. Otherwise something like this:

Do

  If $string = "0" Then
  ; Do something
  ; ...
  ElseIf $string = "1" Then
  ; Do something
  ; ...
  ElseIf $string = "2" Then
  ; Do something
  ; ...
  EndIf

Until MsgBox(4, "name", "tekst") = 7

You could also use the Case statement as JP said inplace of the If statements. Sooo omnay ways to skin this cat

Thanks, I'm trying the following.

But he says there is an error because there is no matching UNTIL statement for the DO statement.

Can someone tell me what's wrong?

;
; V.3.0
;

$String = InputBox("Question", "type your number", "", "", -1, -1, 0, 0)

Do

 If $string = "0" Then
; Something
; ...
 ElseIf $string = "1" Then
; Something
; ...
 ElseIf $string = "2" Then
; Something
; ...
 EndIf

Func Something()
    MsgBox(4096, "Test", "This box will time out in 10 seconds", 10)
EndFunc

Until 
MsgBox(4, "name", "tekst") = 7

don't put a func inside a do..until, if....then, select....endselect, etc.

Place them after everything else, or at the begining.

I prefer the very end.

;
; V.3.0
;

$String = InputBox("Question", "type your number", "", "", -1, -1, 0, 0)

Do

If $string = "0" Then
; Something
; ...
ElseIf $string = "1" Then
; Something
; ...
ElseIf $string = "2" Then
; Something
; ...
EndIf
Until 1=1; need some condition as well

MsgBox(4, "name", "tekst") = 7


; keep all functions seperate, after all the rest.

Func Something()
   MsgBox(4096, "Test", "This box will time out in 10 seconds", 10)
EndFunc

edit.. missed that Larry, I was looking at the forest instead of the trees.

OK, I can understand that.

But when I choose 1 or 2 or .... the Function is not called upon.

It go's straight to MsBox (4) before showing MsBox(4096)

Also when I type something else like "A" it also goes to MsBox (4) in stead of giving an error.

$String = InputBox("Question", "type your number", "", "", -1, -1, 0, 0)

If $string = "0" Then

ElseIf $string = "1" Then
; Something
; ...
ElseIf $string = "2" Then
; Something
; ...
EndIf
Until MsgBox(4, "name", "tekst") = 7

Func Something()
  MsgBox(4096, "Test", "This box will time out in 10 seconds", 10)
EndFunc

I hope your misunderstanding does not come from the commented "; something"

If you use the following version it works.

The msgbox 4096 will execute only if the function is called

;

;

Do
$String = InputBox("Question", "type your number", "", "", -1, -1, 0, 0)

If $string = "0" Then
Something()
; ...
ElseIf $string = "1" Then
Something()
; ...
ElseIf $string = "2" Then
Something()
; ...
EndIf
Until MsgBox(4, "name", "tekst") = 7


; keep all functions seperate, after all the rest.

Func Something()
 MsgBox(4096, "Test " & $string, "This box will time out in 10 seconds", 10)
EndFunc

That was really stupid of me.... ;Something in stead of Something().......

Do you also know a solution for if someone enters another number than specified in the If..ElseIf..function?

I need to give an error and start over again without going to the UNTIL MsBox.

If $string = "0" Then
   Something()
  ; ...
ElseIf $string = "1" Then
   Something()
  ; ...
ElseIf $string = "2" Then
   Something()
  ; ...
Else
  ; ... none of the above apply
   continueloop
EndIf
