Have a little script that is a makeshift search engine. Two things I am trying to do.

1. When the Exit button is clicked, the script should exit.

2. If the User gets the "Number Out of Range" Msg box and clicks on the OK button, I would like to go back to the beginning of the script so the user can either enter a correct number, and/or exit the script.

Way back when, I remember using goto statements to do somethig like this. Can't seem to find that here. Can anyone help?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Numerics Search", 320, 120)

$file = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 5, 100, 20, $ES_NUMBER)

GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_NODROPACCEPTED)

GUICtrlSetLimit(-1, 7)

GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "Enter the 7 digit file number you are looking for and press Search.", 10, 30)

GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "NOTE: The Digital Numeric Archive only consists of Auditor File", 10, 50)

GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "Numbers 2430986 - 3170287.", 10, 66)

$btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Search", 130, 5, 60, 20)

$btn2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 130, 90, 60, 20)

GUISetState()

$msg = 0

While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $btn

$FileNumber = GUICtrlRead($file)

ExitLoop

EndSelect

WEnd

If $FileNumber > 3170287 Or $FileNumber < 2430986 Then

MsgBox(4096, "Number Out of Range", "The number must be between 2430986 and 3170287")

Endif

if $FileNumber >= 2430986 And $FileNumber <= 2433260 Then

ShellExecute ("2430986-2433260.pdf")

Endif

;etc

;etc

;etc.....

There aren't GOTO commands anymore in AutoIt there are ways to get a similar effect though.

For exit button:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

_Main() ; starts GUI function

;GUI function
Func Main()
    GUICreate("Numerics Search", 320, 120)
    $file = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 5, 100, 20, $ES_NUMBER)
    GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_NODROPACCEPTED)
    GUICtrlSetLimit(-1, 7)
    GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "Enter the 7 digit file number you are looking for and press Search.", 10, 30)
    GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "NOTE: The Digital Numeric Archive only consists of Auditor File", 10, 50)
    GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "Numbers 2430986 - 3170287.", 10, 66)
    $btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Search", 130, 5, 60, 20)
    $btn2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 130, 90, 60, 20)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent($btn2, "Close") ; Tells to go to Close function if Exit button is pressed

    GUISetState()
EndFunc

$msg = 0
While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $btn
            $FileNumber = GUICtrlRead($file)
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
WEnd

If $FileNumber > 3170287 Or $FileNumber < 2430986 Then
    MsgBox(4096, "Number Out of Range", "The number must be between 2430986 and 3170287")
    _Main() ; Goes back to GUI function
Endif
If $FileNumber >= 2430986 And $FileNumber <= 2433260 Then
    ShellExecute ("2430986-2433260.pdf")
Endif

;closes script if exit button is pressed
Func Close()
    Exit
EndFunc

EDIT: Added the "goto" effect

When I run this I get

Line 3

-Main()

^ERROR

Error: Unknown function Name

I coded it this way:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

_Main() ; starts GUI part

Func Main()

GUICreate("Numerics Search", 320, 120)

$file = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 5, 100, 20, $ES_NUMBER)

GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_NODROPACCEPTED)

GUICtrlSetLimit(-1, 7)

GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "Enter the 7 digit file number you are looking for and press Search.", 10, 30)

GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "NOTE: The Digital Numeric Archive only consists of Auditor File", 10, 50)

GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "Numbers 2430986 - 3170287.", 10, 66)

$btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Search", 130, 5, 60, 20)

$btn2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 130, 90, 60, 20)

GUISetState()

EndFunc

$msg = 0

While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $btn

$FileNumber = GUICtrlRead($file)

ExitLoop

EndSelect

WEnd

If $FileNumber > 3170287 Or $FileNumber < 2430986 Then

MsgBox(4096, "Number Out of Range", "The number must be between 2430986 and 3170287")

_Main() ; Goes back to GUI

Endif

Func Close ()

Exit

EndFunc

_Main() ; starts GUI part

Func Main()

Looks like a problem to me... you are calling a function called _Main and the function name is Main

OK, I changed everything to just Main, also had to move the EndFunc for main all the way to the end of my If statements, otherwise I got an error message saying my $btn variable had not been declared. So now if user types in a out of range number they are taken to the beginning of the Main. Cool. However, my Exit button is still not working. Doesn't there need to be some kind of if statement like If $bt2 = 1 then Func Close ()?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Main() ; starts GUI part

Func Main()

GUICreate("Numerics Search", 320, 120)

$file = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 5, 100, 20, $ES_NUMBER)

GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_NODROPACCEPTED)

GUICtrlSetLimit(-1, 7)

GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "Enter the 7 digit file number you are looking for and press Search.", 10, 30)

GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "NOTE: The Digital Numeric Archive only consists of Auditor File", 10, 50)

GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "Numbers 2430986 - 3170287.", 10, 66)

$btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Search", 130, 5, 60, 20)

$btn2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 130, 90, 60, 20)

GUISetState()

$msg = 0

While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $btn

$FileNumber = GUICtrlRead($file)

ExitLoop

EndSelect

WEnd

If $FileNumber > 3170287 Or $FileNumber < 2430986 Then

MsgBox(4096, "Number Out of Range", "The number must be between 2430986 and 3170287")

Main() ; Goes back to GUI

Endif

if $FileNumber >= 2430986 And $FileNumber <= 2433260 Then

ShellExecute ("2430986-2433260.pdf")

Endif

EndFunc

Func Close()
