STopping a loop while its runnning

[houseonfire]

I have a loop that I need to run until the a ($stop) button is pressed. But if i use

if $stop then ExitLoop

Then it just ends the loop when that command is hit.

Can someone help me out please?

If $stop = True Then Exitloop

also Dim $stop in your code as False.

do a hotKeySet at the start of your script. should look something like this:

HotKeySet( "{ESC}" , "Terminate")

Func Terminate ()

Exit 0

EndFunc

Hmm..

Thanks for your guys' help.

I cant get the Dim to work..

Dim $stop = False

...

...

If $stop1 = True Then Exitloop

That seems to just make the loop stop when it hits the "If $stop1 = True Then Exitloop".

Thanks tgarr for the suggestion, but I considered this and I didn't like the idea of the hotkeys. Thanks though.

Could you post more of your code? Exitloop should work.

[houseonfire]

Exit loop does work, It just exits the loop when it hits the string that tells it to, and not when I click the button.

Add

MsgBox(0,"",$stop)

right before the if statement to verify that $stop is really false at that point.

It might also be an issue with it being a string "True". Try switching it to:

If $stop = "True" Then Exitloop

The MSGbox pops up the number 10..

The MSGbox pops up the number 10..

do

until $stop = 1

While $stop <> 1

wend

In autoIt, 10 = True so you code is doing what it is supposed to. Now you job is to find out why $stop is 10.
