Restart a loop

[matumbo 0]

Does it exist any function to restart a loop?

probably a stupid question, but I didn't find one in the help files.

For loop example:

For $i = 1 To 100
    If $i = 50 Then $i = 1
    ToolTip($i)
    Sleep(20)
Next

This is my whole script, it's a bank simulator.

Made this one just for fun.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Dim $1
Dim $2
Dim $3
Dim $Answer
Global $BankAmount
$BankAmount = 1000

guicreate("Options","275","100")
guictrlcreatelabel("What do you want to do?","100","20")

$1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Deposit","40","60")
$2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Withdraw","100","60")
$3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Statement","170","60")
GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)

While True

    $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $Msg
    case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
    case $1
    guicreate("Input","275","100")
        GUICtrlCreateLabel("How much would you like to  deposit?","70","20")
    $Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("","65","40")
    $Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Send","110","65")
    guisetstate(@SW_SHOW)
    Do
        Sleep(1)
        $Msg2 = GUIGetMsg()
    until $Msg2 = $Button
    $Amount = GUICtrlRead($Input)
    GUICtrlSetData($Input,"")
    $Bankamount = $Bankamount + $Amount
    Msgbox(0,"Money","Money left on Account =" &$BankAmount)
                                                                                                                  ;[b][u]I want it to restart when it's here, close the window and start over.[/u][/b]
    case $2
    ;Haven't finished the script from here yet.
    Case $3
        
    EndSwitch
    WEnd

I don't find a way to use that example here.

Do you mean something like

ContinueLoop [level]

Parameters

level [optional] The level of the loop to restart. The default is 1 (meaning the current loop).

hm, if it does what it sounds like it would do I think it's it.

Thx

Only one problem I think, when I continue the loop the window remains open, what function should I use to only close the inputbox?

You need to point a variable towards the extra GUI you create (the input gui), so you can delete that gui later on just before the loop re-initiates.

I changed only two lines in your code; the two lines that are left-justified. Seems to work for me like this.

GUICreate("Options", "275", "100")
GUICtrlCreateLabel("What do you want to do?", "100", "20")

$1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Deposit", "40", "60")
$2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Withdraw", "100", "60")
$3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Statement", "170", "60")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While True

    $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $Msg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $1
$GuiInput = GUICreate("Input", "275", "100")
            GUICtrlCreateLabel("How much would you like to  deposit?", "70", "20")
            $Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("", "65", "40")
            $Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Send", "110", "65")
            GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
            Do
                Sleep(1)
                $Msg2 = GUIGetMsg()
            Until $Msg2 = $Button
            $Amount = GUICtrlRead($Input)
GUIDelete($GuiInput)
            $BankAmount = $BankAmount + $Amount
            MsgBox(0, "Money", "Money left on Account =" & $BankAmount)
        ;I want it to restart when it's here, close the window and start over.
        Case $2
        ;Haven't finished the script from here yet.
        Case $3

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Changing the value of the counter variable inside the loop is considered very bad form, honestly.

Why not just nest the loop and test for a condition?

$intFlag = 0
While $intFlag = 0
   $condition = True
   While $condition = True
       ; Some code
       if SomeThing () = Whatever then $condition = False
   Wend
