goto

[dakota]

what statment is like the goto so my script would look like this

:lable

dao this

and this

and that

goto :lable

how would I do that with autoit v3????

Welcome to the wonderful world of functions.

Look up Func in the help file... it gives a good description

erm... maybe a bit scary for someone who isnt familliar with them. This example might be better.

HotKeySet("F8", "Toggle")
HotKeySet("ESC", "Terminate")
$active=0

While 1
    If $active = 1 Then MouseClick("left")
    Sleep(500)
WEnd

Func Toggle()
    If $active = 1 Then
        $active = 0
    Else
        $active = 1
    EndIf
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit
EndFunc

If that is a loop that repeats the stuff in the middle then:

While 1
dao this 
and this 
and that

If you post more specifically what you are tryign to do we could help you a little better.

Not to be a punk, dakota, but you DO know there's a help file with AutoIt, right? This is the third post by you today that is easily answered by searching there.

Look for While, For or Do loops in the help file to replace "goto"

From the Help File:

4. Where is the "goto" command?

Gone. It's evil. No, you can't ask why - it just is. It's like that lump of rock they find in the microwave at the end of the film Time Bandits

AutoIt v3 features most of the common "loops" in use today and with these Goto is no longer required. Look up While, Do, For, ExitLoop, ContinueLoop and Functions for the modern way of doing things And while you are looking at help file sections check out these on loops, conditional statements and functions. I promise you, once you have got the hang of such things you will be able to script in virtually any other language within a couple of minutes.

Just to get you started, the most basic use of Goto in version 2.64 was an infinite loop like:

:mylabel

...do something...

...and something else...

goto, mylabel

A simple v3 version of that is a While loop that is always "true".

While 1 = 1

...do something...

...do something else...
