do until for next while?!?

[anystupidassname]

The problem is that all of the For In Next, Do Until, While WEnd, seem to be for trying the same thing over and increasing a variable each time until it reaches a set limit.

Is there a more elegant way to do this than a bunch of if elseif thens?

The actions I need to try in the correct order should only be performed once each and once the condition is met the rest of the actions MUST NOT be performed. I hope this makes sense.

$clipstart = ClipGet()

if ClipGet() = blah or blah1 or $clipstart then

first set of actions

elseif ClipGet() = blah or blah1 or $clipstart then

second set of actions

elseif ClipGet() = blah or blah1 or $clipstart then

third actions

EndIf

Thanks

are you reading from the clipboard.?

are you reading from the clipboard.?

Yes, but ignore that. I'm trying to do something until the clipboard contains a certain thing.

Here is a second part to the question too.

What if I have to try pressing down arrow once and then enter and if that doesn't work, press down twice and enter ad nauseum?

Switch/ EndSwitch or Select/EndSelect would be better perhaps.

Thanks, Select / EndSelect looks good.

#include<array.au3>
$clip=ClipGet()
$array=StringSplit($clip,@lf)

for $ct=1 to $array[0]
    if $array[$ct] = "whatever you want to search for" Then
        MsgBox(0,"","Found it! "&$array[$ct],0)
    
    EndIf
Next
