Easy Question

[iNu]

I tried to find this, but can't, I guess because it's such a newby question. I was wondering what the syntax for an "infinite" loop would be. I need to look the same mouse click sequences over and over as long as the program is running. Thanks - Vin

Searching for "infinite loop" in the helpfile gives you 6 hits. The second looks interesting...

To create an infinite loop, you can use a non-zero number as the expression.

if you want t seel a while loop working go look for the examples file for auto it theres a few loop ones in there

expandcollapse popup

;
; AutoIt Version: 3.0
; Language:    English
; Platform:    Win9x/NT
; Author:        Jonathan Bennett (jon at hiddensoft com)
;
; Script Function:
;   Counts to 5 using a "do" loop


; Prompt the user to run the script - use a Yes/No prompt (4 - see help file)
$answer = MsgBox(4, "AutoIt Example", "This script will count to 5 using a 'Do' loop.  Run?")


; Check the user's answer to the prompt (see the help file for MsgBox return values)
; If "No" was clicked (7) then exit the script
If $answer = 7 Then
    MsgBox(0, "AutoIt Example", "OK.  Bye!")
    Exit
EndIf


; Set the counter
$count = 1

; Execute the loop "until" the counter is greater than 5
Do
; Print the count
    MsgBox(0, "AutoIt Example", "Count is: " & $count)

; Increase the count by one
    $count = $count + 1  

Until $count > 5
        
        
; Finished!
MsgBox(0, "AutoIt Example", "Finished!")

I don't get some people...have you ever wondered why the teacher doesn't sit down and do your

school-work and homework for you ? Well, I would imagine it has something to do the fact that it's

not the best way for the students to learn.

Now, that's nice enough, but if he had searched in the helpfile like I said in my second post, he would

have found it out almost instantly. The problem is that a lot of people are lazy and strange enough find

it easier to sign up on a forum, ask a question and then wait for a reply, instead of doing a very simple

search in the helpfile and get their question a lot faster.

So, when you serve their answer on a silver-plate like that you serve nobody any good...not even the

iNu in this case, where he could've learned too find the answers himself. This is what I would've called

a "bjørnetjeneste". I believe it's called disservice in English...
