Mintz Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 This problem has popped up all over the place. what i am trying to get it to do, is so that if the user presses Cancel, the script exits, while if he presses OK without entering anything, it asks for a name. The problem is, the script does not exit when cancel is pressed. But it does loop fine, and it does continue past the loop if text is entered. SetError(1) $name = InputBox("Welcome!", Please enter your name") If $name = @error Then Exit EndIf While $name = "" MsgBox(0, "enter a name", "enter a name") $name = InputBox("Welcome!", "Please enter your name") wend msgbox(0, "Hi", "Hi" & $name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsaltyDS Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I think maybe "returns @error" may not mean what you think it means. The macro @error is separate from the returned string in $name. this may do what you want: While 1 $name = InputBox("Welcome!", "Please enter your name") If @error Then Exit ElseIf $name = "" Then MsgBox(0, "enter a name", "enter a name") Else ExitLoop EndIf WEnd MsgBox(0, "Hi", "Hi, " & $name & ".")
