Or the ever popular:

do
  code here
until False

and most importantly, check the AutoIt help file

[cppman]

Or the ever popular:

do

until False

with typing on keyboard using your eyes to check documentations

Your first loop... that false should be a true

Do
;do this code until, the $This_Expression_Is_True is true.
Until ($This_Expression_Is_True);

[PaulIA]

Your first loop... that false should be a true

Actually, no it shouldn't. He asked how to do a loop. If you changed the False to True, it would drop out on the first pass through the code and then it wouldn't be a loop at all.

[cppman]

...

Your looping until that expression is true..

not until that expression is false.

Do Until works almost exactly like the Do While loop except that the Do Until loop continues executing the body of the loop until the comparison test is true.

You're missing the point and I'm not sure what you're hung up on. The OP asked how to make a loop. If you replace "False" with "True", my example is not a loop. You'll fall through the code the first pass through and never loop.

My example is no different than the one posted by lolp1. He created an infinite loop by testing a constant that always returns True so he'll stay in the loop. I did the same thing but I'm testing a constant that always returns False so I'll stay in the loop, what's the problem?

[cppman]

oh.. no, i was talking about looping so many times.

I did'nt know you were refferring to an infinite loop.

[PaulIA]

Your logic completely escapes me...

H.A.N.D.

[cppman]

......

a Do../..Until loop loops until the specified expression is true, not false... The way you put it in your code, made it look like you were showing the syntax of the do/until loop.
