Restart a loop from the beginning if a function fails..?


Recommended Posts

is there anyway to restart a loop (While 1 - Wend) from the beginning if a function fails inside of that loop..??

Depends on how your function is written. If it returns an error code then just use something like this

While 1
    _MyFunction()
    If @Error Then ContinueLoop
Wend

Func _MyFunction()
    If @UserName <> "XYZ" Then Return SetError(1)
EndFunc

Small addition.

While 1
    _MyFunction()
    If @Error Then ContinueLoop
    ExitLoop
Wend

I didn't do that because he might have something else to do and he wants to keep checking until he gets a match. Besides the way I have it demonstrates the way continuous loops work. :D

???

:D

I think he means it won't loop if there is no error and in that he's correct so there would be no reason to put the function call inside a loop

it doesn't seem to work for my code, is it because its inside a (DO-UNTIL) Loop..??

While 1

Do

Sleep(10000)

_IEAction ($IE, "refresh")

If @Error Then ContinueLoop

ExitLoop

_IELinkClickByText($IE, "LINK")

Until Not @error

Wend

Somebody confused you. Take that ExitLoop out of there.

Edit: In your code youu only need the Do Until. Not the While 1 Wend

i have other code in between the (While 1-Wend) loop before & after the (DO-UNTIL) loop, but if the _IEAction ($IE, "refresh") function fails inside the DO-UNTIL loop in need to restart the whole (While 1-Wend) loop again from the beginning..

Now we are getting to the meat and potatoes of the issue

Use ContinueLoop 2

Maybe you want to get following?

While 1
...
    While 1
        Sleep(10000)
        _IEAction ($IE, "refresh")
        If Not @Error Then
            _IELinkClickByText($IE, "LINK")
            If Not @Error Then
                ExitLoop
            EndIf
        EndIf
    WEnd
...
WEnd

becuz i just tried that and got this error

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3 (2847) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:
$o_object.document.execCommand("Refresh")
$o_object.document^ ERROR
>Exit code: 1   Time: 17.375

and it exited instead of continuing the script..??

Dale would have to verify this but I don't think you even have to handle an error check for the Refresh action. Just follow that line with an _IELoadWait call.

Yashied also has a good method in his reply

well if the browser window is closed when it goes to refreshed then the script exits.. so how to detect if refresh failed becuase the browser window is absent and then to restart the While 1-Wend loop from the beginning again..??
