stopping a loop


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to stop a loop. Like if found match values using _IEDocReadHTML($soIE1) then execute command once and finish next and just execute the next following command line MsgBox(0, "YAY LOOP:", "STOPPED").

CODE
#include <IE.au3>

#include <String.au3>

#include <array.au3>

$soIE1 = _IECreate("http://www.freewebs.com/lukejrs/testvar.html", 1, 1) ;OPEN BROWNSER URL

$sText1 = _IEDocReadHTML($soIE1) ;READ FROM HTML CODE ON WEBSITE

$feature = _StringBetween($sText1, 'teleFeature.code = "', '";') ; FEATURE

For $a = 0 To UBound($feature) - 1 ; maybe $i = 1 if you needn't the count.

if $feature[$a] == "68819" Then

MsgBox(0, "WE FOUND", "68819")

ElseIf $feature[$a] == "68818" then

MsgBox(0, "WE FOUND", "68818")

ElseIf $feature[$a] == "73417" or "72146" Then

MsgBox(0, "WE FOUND", "73417 and 72146")

_IENavigate($soIE1, "http://www.freewebs.com")

EndIf

Next

MsgBox(0, "YAY LOOP:", "STOPPED")

Can you help? I been driving my brain to a DEAD END ><

tried but i dont want to close the script like if i have two loop and i want exit one loop but the other one continue looping

CODE

#include <IE.au3>

#include <String.au3>

#include <array.au3>

$number = "1"

For $i1 = 0 To 9999

$soIE1 = _IECreate("http://www.freewebs.com/lukejrs/testvar.html", 1, 1) ;OPEN BROWNSER URL

MsgBox(0, "Counting", $number)

$sText1 = _IEDocReadHTML($soIE1) ;READ FROM HTML CODE ON WEBSITE

$feature = _StringBetween($sText1, 'teleFeature.code = "', '";') ; FEATURE

For $a = 0 To UBound($feature) - 1 ; maybe $i = 1 if you needn't the count.

if $feature[$a] == "68819" Then

MsgBox(0, "WE FOUND", "68819")

_IENavigate($soIE1, "http://www.google.com")

exitloop

ElseIf $feature[$a] == "68818" then

MsgBox(0, "WE FOUND", "68818")

_IENavigate($soIE1, "http://www.yahoo.com")

exitloop

ElseIf $feature[$a] == "73417" or "72146" Then

MsgBox(0, "WE FOUND", "73417 and 72146")

_IENavigate($soIE1, "http://www.freewebs.com")

exitloop

EndIf

Next

MsgBox(0, "YAY LOOP:", "STOPPED")

$number += 1

Next

P.S Never mind lol i'm idiot thanks for your help i had it right what happen was causing an error i forgot one of the command i had $$ money sign which was causing my script to fail

To exit the current loop use ExitLoop like Senton-Bomb suggested. To exit the script use the Exit command. From what I can see your script is going to loo[ 9999 times and open 9999 browser windows before quiting. If you want the scritp to end before all 9999 loops have been completed you need to use the Exit command.

Another thing that I noticed was your last condition does not match your msgbox.

ElseIf $feature[$a] == "73417" Or "72146" Then
    MsgBox(0, "WE FOUND", "73417 and 72146")
    _IENavigate($soIE1, "http://www.freewebs.com")
    ExitLoop
EndIf

The above is saying if either 73417 OR 72146 are found then to display the message you found both numbers. In order for your message to be correct you will need to either change the ElseIf statement from OR to AND .... or change the message to say "73417 or 72146". The other thing to consider is what should the script do if none of these values are found?

Not a big deal just things to consider.

I have lot of Elseif command let say the value i was looking wasn't found if $feature[$a] == "73417" and not equal to anything i have like

CODE
Elseif Not $feature[$a] == "68819" or $feature[$a] == "68818" or $feature[$a] == "73417" or $feature[$a] == "72148" or $feature[$a] == "72157" or $feature[$a] == "72191" or $feature[$a] == "63657" or $feature[$a] == "72145" or $feature[$a] == "62647" or $feature[$a] == "63654" or $feature[$a] == "69902" or $feature[$a] == "72147" or $feature[$a] == "72150" or $feature[$a] == "68844" or $feature[$a] == "72159" or $feature[$a] == "73502" or $feature[$a] == "73503" or $feature[$a] == "71667" or $feature[$a] == "58791" or $feature[$a] == "68846" or $feature[$a] == "68274" or $feature[$a] == "63660" or $feature[$a] == "71615" Then

MsgBox(0, "WE FOUND", "nothing")

exitloop

Any idea? cause i have lots else if like 34 of them i have tried Case command i have no luck.

Will these 34 codes be static or will they be dynamic (changing based on time or events)? Thanks to many of the MVPs here like PsaltyDS, I'm slowly starting to understand the importance of arrays in programming. That said you might want to hold your codes in an array. I'm still way too new to dare suggest how to do this on the fly. Let us know about the 34 codes and their nature (static / dynamic). Meanwhile I'll see if I can think of something that might help you before Thanksgiving. No seriously, I'm that new and slow. What takes me months to do, many of the others here can do in 3 seconds and that's after yawning and a good stretch.

EDIT: Also if you know if you're only going to want to take a certain action on 3 or 4 of the possible 34 codes you'll probably want to do something like IF $feature <> $values Then MsgBox(0,"No Match", "Sorry Charlie no dice").

Here it's the code. The only thing it does read the url hml and grab a stringbetween then use $feature[0], $feature[2], $feature[3], $feature[4], and $feature[5] and keep at it until all string been search if value not match else feature elseif not $feature[$a] == "value" then

MsgBox(0, "nada", "Nothing")

Read up on _ArraySearch and look at the example in the help file. I think this will give you what you want! If you get this working, please post your finished code. I think you're on the right track! Keep up the good work.

Issues using Not like in your other topic I see. Moving a long, you could perhaps consider using a Switch...Case...EndSwitch to clean up the code or even put all the numbered conditions into a array to compare within a loop.

Switch $feature[$a]
    Case 68819, 68818, 73417, 72148, 72157
        ContinueCase
    Case 72191, 63657, 72145, 62647, ...
        MsgBox(0, "WE FOUND", "nothing")

This is so cool, I psyched that I'm actually starting to get some of this stuff. Then to come back to this post and read MHz suggest something I thought would work... well that's just icing on the cake. Guess I was on the right track. Now that I got that out of my system, back to LukeJrs problem.

LukeJrs, LukeJrs, LukeJrs... I saw your other post and I'm wondering why you ignored my earlier suggestion where I said

.... do something like IF $feature <> $values Then MsgBox(0,"No Match", "Sorry Charlie no dice").

That may have saved you some frustration with your Elseif Not $feature[$a] == "68819" or code.

Based on what MHz suggested

..... perhaps consider using a Switch...Case...EndSwitch to clean up the code or even put all the numbered conditions into a array to compare within a loop.

here's what I came up with. Not sure if it does what you need, but it is a modification of the _ArraySearch example I mentioned to you earlier. I will admit looking at MHz's code, it seems to be cleaner than what I put together. But hey, MHz is an MVP -- I'm nothing, nada :)

Looking good But i never understand case and ubound

For $i = 0 To UBound($avCodes) - 1

$Input = $avCodes[$i]

$Pos = _ArraySearch ($avFeature, $Input)

Select

Case $Pos = -1

MsgBox(0, "Not Found", '"' & $Input & '" was not found in the array.')

Case Else

MsgBox(0, "Found", '"' & $Input & '"' & " was found in the array.")

EndSelect

Next

Can you trasnlate that in idiot term lol i'm still learning :\ it work, There lots calculation needed to be done once the code was found,

Each Number of feature is found have their own fraction needed to execute Can it be done?

Example

ElseIf $feature[$a] == "58791" Then

MsgBox(0, "account is over by: ", "58791" & " - $" & 8*0.15)

EndIf

exitloop

One thing I've noticed across my reading of the forums is the lack of simple "Thank you" and "You're Welcome" messages. I guess the lack of the first has a direct impact on the second, good ole cause and effect.

@LukeJrs you're welcome and I'm glad the script worked for you. Especially considering that your original question was how to exit a loop. I didn't mind working on your script since it allowed me to practice some new found knowledge recently gained from big_daddy, PsaltyDS, MHz. Just remember to pay it forward and say a simple "thank you' :).

Look in the help file for the answers about your "case and ubound" questions. And actually its Switch...Case...EndSwitch, not "case". Here's how I would answer your question (not to excuse you from reading the help file). Switch...Case...EndSwitch and If...Then...EndIf are very similar. There are several ways to skin a cat and the same is true for conditionally running statements. As explained to me by big_daddy, Switch...Case...EndSwitch can make your code easier to read and smaller in size in some cases when compared to If...Then...EndIf. I personally haven't figured out nor received a good answer to the question "when is one conditional statement set better than another?" So I'm left with the idea it depends, on the person, situation, and probably the weather. Take your code for instance, MHz suggested Switch...Case...EndSwitch and I used Select...Case...EndSelect. I honestly don't know the difference between the two, but I'm sure there's a reason for each.

Ubound, easier to understand in that it returns the size of an array. And that's straight from the help file, you still need to read it for more details. In your script I setup $avCodes[6] as an array that would hold 6 values. Later in the loop instead of saying

For $i = 0 To 6  ;<= Loop would occur 0 - 6 times
    .... blah, blah, blah

+¯&¢ëf¡ØÊ)ජ½7ê

Glad this worked out for you, and one thing I've learned by reading the forum is that many of the gurus aren't interested in writing a script for the asking, they want to see everyone put forth an effort and not be a lazy freeloader. Only makes sense, especially when the answers are in help or on another topic somewhere in this forum. Hope this helped you!

ssubirias3,

To answer this, I chose Switch because $feature[$a] is being compared against other conditions in the same block of code. Switch operates on the concept of comparing Cases against one statement at the top of the Switch block.

This example shows each Case being compared to $var and the first True Case will be executed.

$var = 1
Switch $var
    Case 1
        ; code
    Case 2
        ; code
EndSwitch

Trying to put the various Case conditions above of the Select block into a Switch block would not operate correct at all. Switch and Select may look similar, but in operation, they are not the same.

LukeJrs,

I hope you are learning something so you can clean up your code.

:)

I am fairly sure that $avFeature should exist in the loop else you are only comparing known values, but the code looks neat. :)

MHz - may I ask you to review the following code I've written and tweaked for LukeJrs? This should resolve most if not all his concerns about the multiple pop-ups. He'll just need to drop his code for the calculations and he'll be all done.

#include <IE.au3>
#include <String.au3>
#include <array.au3>

Dim $avCodes[7] = ["68819", "73501", "73417", "72146", "68994", "48526", "48553"], $Input, $Pos, $j = 0, $k = 0

$soIE1 = _IECreate("http://www.freewebs.com/lukejrs/testvar.html", 0, 0, 1)
$sText1 = _IEDocReadHTML($soIE1)
$avFeature = _StringBetween($sText1, 'teleFeature.code = "', '";')

For $i = 0 To UBound($avCodes) - 1
    $Input = $avCodes[$i]
    $Pos = _ArraySearch ($avFeature, $Input)
    Select
        Case $Pos = -1
            If $k = 0 Then
                $avLost = _ArrayCreate($Input)
            Else
                _ArrayAdd($avLost, $Input)
            EndIf
            $k += 1
        Case Else
            If $j = 0 Then
                $avFound = _ArrayCreate($Input)
            Else
                _ArrayAdd($avFound, $Input)
            EndIf
            $j += 1
    EndSelect
Next

$sLost = _ArrayToString( $avLost," and ", 1, 7 )
$sFound = _ArrayToString( $avFound," and ", 1, 7 )
MsgBox(64+262144, "Eureka!", $sLost & " -- once were LOST" & @CR _
