redefine loop parameters

[NeuroToxic]

Hi all,

Sorry for my bad english, I'm french.

I have a problem with a loop "For", I try to change the end parameter during the loop, but it does not work.

It's possible to change the end parameter during the loop ? If yes can you help me ?

This is my code (Normally, it should make an infinite loop):

It takes as a end parameter, the array size. Each loop, increment the array size, so the end parameter too.

Global $array[2]
Global $loop = 0

$end = UBound($array)

For $i = 1 To $end
    $loop += 1
    ConsoleWrite("loop : " & $loop & @CRLF)
    ReDim $array[UBound($array) + 1]
    $end = UBound($array)
Next

Try with a 'custom made' For loop using While Wend.

Global $array[2]
Global $loop = 0

$end = UBound($array)
$i=1
While $i <= $end
    $loop += 1
    ConsoleWrite("loop : " & $loop & @CRLF)
    ReDim $array[UBound($array) + 1]
    $end = UBound($array)
    $i+=1
WEnd

How is either that or the OP's loop not infinite...?

I'm confused... he wanted to modify the value of $end inside the loop, which is what I did. He said Normally, it should make an infinite loop, so I thought he wanted an infinite loop...

I figured that meant until a conditional statement did ExitLoop, or some such. Otherwise the script "Normally" crashes eventually with subscript out of bounds error.

His loop isn't infinite... it ends after two loops.

Anyway, I just thought he wanted to figure out a way of modifying the conditional variable in a loop... so I gave him an idea

Doh!

I missed that in the help file:

If stepVal or stop is a variable, its value is only read the first time the loop executes.

You were right.

Thank you, its work Edited January 4, 2008 by NeuroToxic
