Basic Functions Questions

[Valley]

Hey I've just recently started learning AutoIt, I've had a look through the forums/google and couldn't find anything on this; so I was wondering if it possible to EndFunc half way through code on a command.

e.g.

HotKeySet("{F9}", "Cheese stop")

Func Cheese()

Sleep(1000)

Send("a")

Sleep(1000)

Send("a")

Sleep(1000)

Send("a")

Sleep(1000)

Send("a")

EndFunc

Is there anyway to assign F9 to cancel running through the 'Cheese' function at any location throughout the code?

Any help appreciated!

You did not need to create a new topic. There is an edit button for when firefox stuffs up.

True, but I didn't realise it made 2 posts until I had finished this one properly.

+ there's no delete button (I can find)

Global Run = true

HotKeySet("{F9}", "Cheese stop")

HotKeySet("{F8}", "stop")

Func Cheese()

Sleep(1000)

If not $run then

$run = $true

return

endif

Send("a")

Sleep(1000)

If not $run then

$run = $true

return

endif

Send("a")

Sleep(1000)

If not $run then

$run = $true

return

endif

Send("a")

Sleep(1000)

If not $run then

$run = $true

return

endif

Send("a")

EndFunc

Func Stop()

$run = false

end func

There may be other ways, this is only one.

as he said: RETURN forces your prog to jump out of the function.

HotKeySet("{F9}", "_Cheese")
HotKeySet("{F8}", "_stop")

Global $Exitfunc = False

Func _Cheese()
    
    For $a = 1 to 10
        
        Send('a')
        Sleep(1000)
        ; just put this line anywhere in the Code & if you hit F8 & when program reaches this point, it will exit the function
        If $Exitfunc = True then Return 
    Next
EndFunc

Func _Stop()
    $Exitfunc = True
EndFunc
    
    
; Infinite loop to keep program running 
While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
