List Support

[ZootZootZootie]

I haven't had much programming knowledge since pascal so I'm not sure if this is even supported or intelligent to do but what the.. might as well try.

I'm trying to do a check but it has 72 possible combinations.

Is it possible to do a do loop with the until command being

Until ($x, {$a,$b....}) = {$z,$y...}

or do I have to type out each combination?

thanks for the help.

Would this be a workable solution ??

Do
  ; Do your thing until Check() returns  1
until check()


Func Check()
   Local $Wanna_stop

  ; DO your testing with for...next loops/If's /Select case or something
  ; and set $Wanna_stop to 1 when you want to stop the Do..Until 

   Return ($Wanna_stop)
EndFunc

You might also want to try the following workaround (for the missing In() function which I'm hoping is still on a todo list somewhere ) ..

;If $nValue In (2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19)
    If StringInStr(":2:3:5:7:9:11:17:19:", ":" & String($nValue) & ":") Then
       ;Prime < 20
    EndIf

So, 9 is prime these days, is it?

Not quite sure what the tests you want to do are. Could you elaborate a bit more?

Your example syntax is not valid. I assume that you want a better answer than

do
until $x or $a=$z or $b=$y
