is there goto in autoit?

[igotandrew]

Or something like it?

In vb6/vbs

you could've easily done

Function XX(Params as variables)

while

if conditional statement = true then

goto cd

end if

wend

cd:

end function

Then any thoughts on how I'd go up on this?

I'm working on a spider / web crawler

So

While 1 (makes it go on forever)

If page src contains (compare to list of words via text file) then exit loop, go to new web page

Otherwise do stuff

Wend

In you earlier posted example an ExitLoop would do the job.

I don't want to stop the web crawling permanently, I just want it to move on.

I just commented on your initial posted code.

You will have to post some code for me to be able to help out.

Func P()
    While 1
        _IENavigate($oIE, "webpage" & $vID)
        
        $oSrc = _IEBodyReadText($oIE)
        
        For $i = 1 to $B[0]
            If StringInStr($oSrc, $B[$i], 2) > 0 Then;something detected
                L("Encountered blacklisted site '" & $B[$i] & "', skipping. URL: " & $vID)
            EndIf
        Next
; do junk

$vID = $vID + 2
    WEnd
EndFunc

And $B is an array holding websites (it's entries are irrelevant, and are from a text file (split))

It should exit where it says "encountered black listed site"

I'm thinking of moving the $vID = $vID +2 to the front, I'm not really 100% sure what to do.

[Jos]

To exit the for-next loop when the IF is true you just add the ExitLoop after line containing the L(...).

This will stop the for next loop but will stay within the While-Wend loop

Is there a way to bypass the "do stuff" if something is detected in the for loop?

[igotandrew]

I'm an idiot.

After thinking about this logicailly for a few minutes, I came to the answer.

Thanks.

There are many, many was to handle that

Func P()
    Local $pass
    
    While 1
        $pass = ""
        _IENavigate($oIE, "webpage" & $vID)

        $oSrc = _IEBodyReadText($oIE)

        For $i = 1 To $B[0]
            If StringInStr($oSrc, $B[$i], 2) > 0 Then;something detected
                ;L("Encountered blacklisted site '" & $B[$i] & "', skipping. URL: " & $vID)
                $pass = 1
            EndIf
        Next
        
        If $pass = "" Then
            ; do junk
        EndIf
        
        $vID = $vID + 2
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>P
